This painting shows a woman standing in a landscape, holding a long, thin instrument to her mouth. She wears a long, draped dress and has long hair. The woman stands on a platform or ledge, with a large vase or urn behind her. The background is a hilly landscape with a building on the left side. The artist's use of engraving and gilding creates a sense of depth and texture in the image. For more on the technique of engraving, look up engraving.
