Beeldbeschrijving
The image depicts a woman seated in a wooden chair, facing slightly to the right. She has light eyes, a straight nose, and a set expression. Her hair is dark brown, styled in soft curls under a white bonnet with red and white striped ribbons and lace trim. She wears a light green gown with a lace collar, two gold necklaces with a heart-shaped pendant, and holds a black object resembling an ear trumpet. The background is a dark brown with red undertones.
