The portrait of a woman aged approx. 40 to 50 years old, the upper part of her body turned slightly to the left, her face slightly to the right, almost frontal; she is wearing a light-coloured bustier dress with a lace trimming framing the upper part of her body and a stiff velvet cloak billowing over her right arm; under the décolleté a large breast clasp set with precious stones, as well as a pearl necklace tightly wrapped around the neck in the style of Venetian portraits since the time of Veronese; a rose blossom at the lower right.
