This is a formal, meticulously crafted, full-length Renaissance portrait of a woman in the Renaissance style, in three-quarter view.
The composition uses traditional portrait techniques.
A slender and graceful young woman of royal descent, with a delicate face and a narrow nose. Her face is narrow, her eyes are blue.
Her long, wavy, dark blond hair is worn partly in a halo braid, partly undone, falling down her back.
She wears a gold crown set with narrow garnet stones on her forehead.
She wears a filigree gold necklace with a gold rose motif pendant.
Her outfit is a medieval-style burgundy brocade overdress with long, funnel-shaped, wide sleeves, a long skirt reaching to the top of the pedestal, and an embroidered hem.
Under the overdress, in the wide neckline, a pale lilac organza petticoat is visible.
A dark purple raw silk petticoat is visible under a burgundy brocade skirt tucked into a belt in the medieval style.
The woman's waist is adorned with a gilded silver belt with a medieval Celtic pattern.
In her hand she holds a long gilded dark Celtic pattern carved wooden staff, on the top of which is a rose motif made of a sparkling ruby gemstone in a gold setting, with thorny, dark gold tendrils and emerald leaves in a gold setting.
The background is a medieval, somewhat fairytale-like castle, an abandoned room, woven with cobwebs and wild wild rose vines, the architectural elements of which are made in an ornately carved Celtic style, of greenish-gray and white marble.
