DescriptionHalf-length view of an exotically attired reclining woman. She wears a low-cut blouse or bodice with sheer sleeves. A striped sash is tied around her waist. Her jewelry includes a four-strand pearl or bead necklace, a brooch, a bracelet, armbands, and pendant earrings. Additional strands of pearls or beads are wrapped around her hair. Her left hand rests on her cheek. With her right hand, she holds out a chain that is part of her hair ornaments towards a small parrot, which is perched on a cushion at the far right. A column and a low stone parapet are in the background.
