Miniature representing the left profile of a woman depicted "in the antique style", with her hair tied up in a structured bun and wearing a light drape revealing one shoulder. The treatment of the face and hairstyle is part of a neoclassical aesthetic.
The background, in red tones shaded with yellow and white, imitates the veined appearance of marble, reinforcing the antique inspiration of the whole. Presented in a molded giltwood frame.
