DescriptionThe image is a waist-length portrait of a seated female figure, her body facing forward but her head is turned to the left edge of the support so that the face is in three-quarters profile. The figure wears her hair styled up and is clothed in a white dress with a teal colored sash at the waist and a shawl of gold, white, and teal around her shoulders and arms; her right hand holds a cup and is lifted up, her left arm rests on a table next to her. Behind and to the left of the primary figure is a secondary female figure, ethnically black she wears a scarf turban-style around her head and a necklace around her throat.On View
