The painting depicts a woman in a dark dress with gold embroidery, holding a white glove in her right hand. She wears a large, ruffled collar and a dark cloak with a chain around her waist. Her hair is pulled back, and she has a serious expression. The woman's attire suggests she is from a wealthy family, and the glove she holds may be a symbol of her marital status. The painting's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and dimensionality, drawing the viewer's eye to the subject.
