The painting shows a young woman with long, wavy blonde hair and a black hat adorned with flowers. She wears a blue and white dress with a gold top, featuring a large blue sleeve on her right side. The background is a light beige color. A closer look reveals the woman's serious expression, with her eyes cast downward. Her attire suggests a formal or royal setting, given the ornate details on her clothing and accessories. This painting is reminiscent of the works of Jan Matejko, who was known for his detailed and expressive portraits.
