The painting depicts a woman with long, curly hair and a white lace collar. She is wearing a dark dress with a brooch and a pearl necklace. Her right hand holds a fan, and her left hand is not visible. The background of the painting is dark, which helps to highlight the subject. The woman's attire and accessories suggest that she is a member of the nobility. The painting's style and technique are characteristic of the Baroque period, with the use of chiaroscuro to create a sense of depth and volume.
