A medium close-up in portrait orientation shows a young woman in left-facing profile beside hanging white lace. Her chin is gently raised, her open eyes look toward the left beyond the frame, and her lips remain softly closed in a calm, unsmiling expression. Long black hair is half tied into a small ponytail, with loose bangs and wavy lengths down her back. Her ivory dress has ruffled shoulder straps, a fitted bodice and a tied waist; a fine gold-colored necklace rests at the base of her neck. She lightly gathers the lace edge near her chest with both hands. The translucent fabric arches around her face and fills the upper background, showing embroidered dots and a scalloped floral border. Direct daylight creates bright highlights along her cheek and shoulder and patterned shadows across her fingers. The remaining background is a smooth blur of green vegetation.
