This portrait shows a woman with a serious expression, wearing a dark dress and a white headscarf. Her hands are clasped together in front of her, and she wears a ring on her left hand. The background is dark, which makes the subject stand out. The woman's face is rendered in fine detail, with a subtle, enigmatic expression. Her eyes seem to gaze into the distance, and her lips are pressed together. The artist has used chiaroscuro to create a sense of depth and volume in the painting. The Master of the Legend of the Magdalene is the artist behind this portrait.
