DescriptionThe image is a bust portrait of a female figure turned to the right edge of the support so that the face is in three-quarters profile; the figure's eyes are closed with two tears coming from her right eye, and her hands are clasped together and held against her right cheek. The figure's wavy chestnut hair is draped with a lavender-gray scarf and she is clothed in a burgundy gown with white at the cuffs.
