She wears a pale blue and ivory robe with embroidered borders, and red embroidered shoes peek out beneath her hem. Her jewelry and hairstyle are characteristic of the period, rendered with delicate attention to detail.

The work is presented in a giltwood frame. Some scattered surface wear, craquelure, and light abrasions are visible (see photos), consistent with age, which add to its authenticity and charm. The canvas is backed on wood panels, typical of 19th-century mounting practices. See less
