The collar and edges of the pelisse are lined with white fur with black spots, probably ermine. The collar of her dress is visible from under her pelisse.

The brim of the bonnet is black netting with pink flowers decorating the sides and a pink bow at the back. She wears a white cap under the hat with a lace ruffle that covers her ears and her forehead. She sits on a large, carved, stone bench with her legs crossed. There is a green book on the bench next to her. She looks to the right. The contributor has written "1/3" in the bottom right hand corner of the plate.
