Long, curly, reddish-blonde hair spills over her right shoulder. In her right hand she clutches flowers, while her left hand conceals her nether region. At her feet is a contentedly napping puppy. In the background we see two figures wearing dresses, one kneeling and bent over an open chest and one standing over her. Clearly they are working in the background while the main subject poses in the foreground. The decorations and architectural details are rich and intricate.
