The painting, n opaque watercolour on paper, shows a standing lady in profile facing right with her right arm extended and her hand gesturing upwards. Her left hand rests upon a red cane. She is dressed in a gauzy transparent peshwazoverdress with long tight sleeves that reveals her breasts beneath and her red paijama which are dotted with a scrolled leaf pattern ending in a double row of pearls round her ankles. The open V-neck of the dress is edged with pink-tipped, chevron-shaped lappets which join just below her breasts before parting into a skirt with gold-edged gores reaching down to the hem. In the central opening a golden patka with a scrolling floral design in pink and red is tucked into her paijama waistband and falls full-length to the hem of her dress. She wears a pair of burgundy-coloured slippers decorated in a golden pattern which reveal her reddened heels that match her red finger tips. Her loose hair is covered with a transparent odhani (veil) edged in gold which is draped over her left shoulder and hangs down her back with a decorated floral end on a gold ground. She wears ropes of pearls as bracelets on her wrists and a jewelled armlet is visible under her odhani. Further pearls and green gemstones decorate her ear and neck. She also wears a cross-over pearl body ornament clasped between her breasts with a red gemstone.
She is shown standing on a stretch of green grass dotted with a variety of flowering plants against a turquoise-green background which rises up to the top of the painting where streaks of gold and pink suggest a notional sky. A strip of paper one and a half centimetres in depth has been added along the top and painted blue.
The image has also been extended along its lower edge by an additional one and a half centimetre strip of paper painted in a cruder fashion to show a white-lily pond with two little fish in it.
The painting is mounted on the page with an inner border of a faded pinky-orange colour decorated in gold with a scrolling foliage pattern edged in gold with white and black outlines and an outer line in blue. The main border of the page is ivory coloured with a row of pink lilies and red poppies outlined in gold. The margins of the page have blue strips of paper with a white outline collaged along the edges. That on the right hand side is rather damaged probably when the album was rebound and a grey strip of paper added as a gutter for the present album binding.
