This painting shows a woman with long, curly hair. She wears a dress with a floral pattern and a lace collar. Her right hand is on her chest. The woman's dress is intricately designed, with flowers and leaves woven into the fabric. The painting's background is dark, which makes the woman's dress stand out. The woman in the painting is dressed in a way that was typical of the time period. To learn more about the artist who painted her, look up Cornelis Janssens van Ceulen.
