This plate consists of a costume for Gille, made up of a white jacket with light blue lapels and buttons, and short, ruffled sleeves, worn over a light blue gilet, and with a draped, narrow, calf-length skirt with pieces of light blue fabric tied on the right side and the lower part of the skirt to form a border, and with white ruffles on the bottom. The accessories for the costume include a white hat with light blue ribbon, a white ruff around the neck, white, long gloves, a white fan with two hanging tassels, white stockings, and gray low-heels with light blue rosettes.
