Her right hand is raised. She looks solemnly downward. She wears a small headdress and pearl earrings. Her hair is braided across her head and left loose behind her. Behind her head is a gold halo. She is rendered against a deep blue ground, much of which has flaked to reveal turquoise under-paint. Mughal Style.
