Three quarter length portrait, holding a palette and brushes, wearing a low necked gown with a ruffled edge, a bow at the front, a shawl around her arms, and a hat decorated with flowers and a feather that casts a shadow over the face. The subject's hair hangs in loose ringlets and she wears drop earrings. Clouds in the sky behind, the portrait set within an oval frame.
