The painting shows, in front of a neutral background, the portrait of a young lady to the waist with the body turned to the front and the head gently lowered towards her left shoulder. The lady is dressed in the fashion of the first half of the 19th century, in a luxurious white dress with a high waist and a multicolored cape that is symmetrically draped over the hands to the side. Her hair is combed with a parting in the middle with locks, and she is wearing a diadem and a necklace.
