caption: The image shows a portrait of a woman in a black dress, painted in a gilt frame. She is seated in a chair, her hands resting on her lap and her gaze directed away from the viewer. Her dress is a deep black, with a high neckline and long sleeves, and her hair is pulled back in a neat bun. Her facial features are delicate and her expression is serene. The painting is framed in a golden gilt, giving it a luxurious and elegant look.
