A watercolor and gold portrait miniature depicts a woman from the chest up, set in a silver-gilt oval frame. Facing us with light skin and long, wavy, reddish-brown hair, she wears a small gold crown set with dark gems over a sheer white veil. Her attire includes a wide white lace collar and a thin dark cord with a circular pendant. Dark teardrop earrings hang from her ears as she looks at us.
