This painting is a portrait of a woman. She has fair skin, a straight nose, and thin red lips, with her dark hair styled up with flowers. She is wearing a multi-colored dress with voluminous sleeves, a wide neckline, and a sheer golden scarf. The woman is sitting and holding a hooked staff in one hand and a thin ribbon in the other. Behind her is a landscape background with a large tree on the left and a cloudy sky on the right.
