The painting depicts a young girl in front of a wall, the lower part of which has been decorated with ceramic tiles with a floral design. The girl is wearing a white dress with embroidery down its front and a long embroidered belt, while her hair is partially covered with a light veil. On the young girl’s chestnut hair there is a gold crown, with gems at its centre. Around her neck she wears a necklace with large gems, a thin bracelet on her left wrist and an armlet on her right arm. The girl is holding a tray on which there is a decanter and cup of blue-and-white porcelain and fruits.
