The female figure appears bust-length, dressed in a crimson dress with white lace, in the Baroque court style. The face conveys sobriety and serenity, highlighting the contrast between the dark palette of the background and the luminosity of the clothing. It features uniform crackling and some antique retouching, characteristic of its age, which does not detract from the overall strength. The frame, made of carved and water-gilded wood with vegetal ornamentation and a central crown, is a piece of high quality in itself, which significantly increases the overall value of the work.
