This painting features a figure dressed in an elaborate 18th-century style gown. The gown features intricate gold embroidery and delicate sienna accents, giving it a luxurious and regal appearance. The bodice is fitted, with a low neckline and elaborate lace trim, typical of the period. The sleeves are puffed and adorned with ruffles, adding to the gown’s opulence. A dragonfly appears near the top left corner of the square. The background is minimalistic, primarily white, which draws attention to the figure.
