She turns her head to her right and holds out her right arm in front of her, and with her left holds up her dress. She wears a small blue hat with a pink underside, white ribbon on top, and a gold edge; a white chemise, a yellow sack back robe, over a blue bodice with a yellow stomacher, ruffles at the sleeves, a flounced petticoat decorated with gold foliage in pink reserves with turquoise outlines, and with gold horizontal lines. Her shoes are dark blue with gold buckles.
