Half-length portrait of an unidentified lady, facing half to the right, resting her left hand over a chair, above which is a window with a view of a landscape.

She has brown eyes, long brown hair and wears a red skirt embroidered with gold thread and a waistcoat embroidered with scrolling foliate embroidery in coloured silks and more gold thread. Unusually, her hair is worn loose, suggesting this is a very intimate portrait, and perhaps shows her in the process of dressing. The lace trimming the neckline and sleeves has probably been dyed with saffron to produce the distinctive yellow colour fashionable during the early years of the seventeenth century.
