A woman in a pale yellow high-waisted gown with a long train stands beside a classical column, one gloved hand resting on a white shawl draped over the plinth. She wears a white bonnet and a long necklace. The hand-colored engraving has soft watercolor washes and a plain gray border with the title printed below.
