Her left hand resting on a table-like object, her right resting against her body, her sleeves and fingers playfully grasping her long descending pearl necklace. Over her richly gold-embroidered doublet gown, a dark mantilla with a cross-shaped diamond and pearl pendant at the shoulder. She wears a richly designed long descending necklace set with gems, pearls and diamonds with a large pendant in the manner of a medal necklace. The collar raised, in the manner of silver embroidery, in the hair a crown-shaped hoop with pearls. The medium-brown hair finely combed, twisted into small close-fitting curls at the front, a fashionably refined curl at the forehead. On the ear a pendant with three drop-shaped pearls.
