This painting depicts a woman in a white satin dress with a blue sash and a yellow ribbon. She holds a fan in her right hand and wears a floral hairpiece. The background is a dark room with a window on the right side, showing a sunset. The woman's dress and hairstyle suggest a formal portrait from the 18th century. Her expression is calm and composed. To learn more about the artist who created this portrait, look up Joseph Blackburn.
