This portrait painting shows a woman in a lavish dress, standing in front of a stone wall with a distant landscape. She wears a red and white gown with gold embroidery, a matching red cape draped over her shoulders, and a gold crown on her head. The woman's right hand rests on the wall beside her, and she faces slightly to the right. The background features a stone wall with a small arched doorway and a distant landscape with a body of water and a mountain range. This painting is a great example of the work of artist John Hayter.
