Description
A woman in the costume of Marie de Bourgogne. She wears a lilac patterned sideless surcoat dress with a fur bodice which extends to border the edges of the surcoat side openings. The fabric pattern suggests brocade. Attached to the fur are pearls and gems along the collar and center front. The hem is gold with a diamond pattern, and her underdress is light blue. She holds up the front of her long dress, showing the underskirt in front. She wears a black hennin with a long transparent gold patterned veil draped over it. There are shrubs in the background.
