A young woman sits in a wicker armchair in a bare room, facing the camera with a serious expression. She wears a wreath of small flowers in her hair, a thin veil draped over the chair, a light pleated dress and pale shoes, and holds a bouquet of small flowers in her lap. A framed picture hangs on the wall behind her, and a lace curtain hangs at the right edge.
