A well-dressed woman stands three-quarter length in a feigned oval, turned slightly to her right, holding a fan in her right hand. She wears an embroidered indoor cap that ends in a sharp peak onthe forehead, over a cluster of tight curls framing her face. Her satin dress, with a pleated bodice, low waist and short sleeves, is worn over a white blouse with crocheted edges and puffed sleeves. She wears large pendant earrings, and on the little finger of her left hand is the engagement ring held by the gentleman in the pendant male portrait.
