Middle-aged woman shown in 3/4 view, with a calm expression looks at the viewer from the corner of her eyes. She wears a white linen cap covering her hair and a large, ruffled white ruff around her neck. Her hands are clasped in her lap, holding delicate, light-colored gloves. She is dressed in a dark garment, possibly a dress or coat, with dark red-brown fur visible around her chest and white cuffs on her wrists. A thin white band is visible on her left wrist. The background is a dark, indistinct brown, and the soft, directional light highlights her face and white accessories.
