This painting shows a woman in a long, white dress with gold accents. She wears a red cape and a crown on her head. Her dark hair is braided and pulled back. The woman's dress has a high neckline and long sleeves. She wears a large necklace with blue stones and a belt with a large blue stone. The background is dark, with a red curtain behind the woman. The woman's expression is serious, and she looks straight ahead. Her hands are clasped in front of her. The painting is very detailed, with intricate patterns on the woman's dress and jewelry. The artist who painted this is Henri-François Riesener.
