Summary

Plain background on which there is a drawing of a woman in costume. The costume is in the style of Elizabeth 1 dress, with bold black and white pattern with a variety of floral and animal motifs. There are details picked out in red, such as a large cape bellowing from either side of the dress sleeves, a tassled rope draped across the costume's skirt and shoes poking from beneath. The top of the skirt and sides of bodice are painted a rich olive green. The woman's face is a pale oval with delicate features, framed by pearl earrings and a striking black, tied up hairdo.
