This painting depicts a woman with a sword, dressed in a white top and a red skirt. She is adorned with gold jewelry, including a necklace and a headpiece. The woman's right hand grasps the sword's hilt, while her left hand rests on her lap. A dark red cloth is draped over her left shoulder. The woman's facial expression is neutral, and her gaze is directed to the right side of the painting. The background of the painting is dark, which contrasts with the woman's bright clothing. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of elegance and refinement. The painting is an example of the artistic style of the Master of the Holy Blood, who was active in the early 16th century.
