The painter has chosen a half-length pose, looking straight ahead. The woman is wearing a blue silk dress under a large embroidered ochre coat, revealing a transparent veil bodice held by crossed black cords. She is holding a rose in her right hand, a symbol of love. Her posture and her gaze exude kindness and gentleness.
Our portrait is embellished with a magnificent carved and gilded wooden frame.
