Her hands are clasped together, and she wears several pieces of jewelry, including a large brooch and multiple rings. The background is dark, which helps to focus attention on the subject. The painting is done in oil paint, and the artist has used chiaroscuro to create a sense of depth and dimension. The subject's face is well-lit, while the background is darker, which helps to create a sense of contrast.
