A woman, head and shoulders in her 40s or 50s. She has full cheeks, a fleshy face, pronounced chin. Her lips are set together, her eyes almond shaped with pale irises and delicately arched eyebrows.
There is a gleam in the whites of the eyes, and they fix the viewer directly. Her gaze is arresting, the expression challenging. Over either shoulder, another human figure is visible. On the left, a male's face somewhat blurred, and on the right a female's face leaning to either side of the woman in the middle.
She wears a dress of patterned fabric with a broad neckline showing the soft flesh. One earring is visible on the ear at the left. The impression is one of a strong, serious and determined woman.
