This portrait features a young woman with dark, curly hair, dressed in a white puffy-sleeved dress and a blue skirt. She sits on a yellow chair with her arms crossed, resting on her lap. A gold chain hangs around her neck. The woman's attire and hairstyle suggest a formal setting, possibly from the early 19th century. Her expression is calm and introspective.
