A vertically oriented tempera and gold painting depicts a woman with a medium skin tone seated beneath a large blossoming tree. Facing our right with eyes downcast, she wears a pink dress with gold patterns and a gold shawl, holding a large green leaf to her chest. Pink lotus flowers and green leaves float on a gray pond in the foreground. A dark blue border with gold floral patterns frames the vertical scene.
