The image is a watercolor painting of a woman dressed in a long, flowing gown, identified by the text at the bottom as a 'Musicienne du Sérail' (Musician of the Harem). She is depicted in profile, facing left. The woman has fair skin, and her hair is styled with a red head covering. She is wearing a long-sleeved dress in a muted green color. The dress is decorated with a floral pattern in shades of red and white. A yellow trim runs down the front of the dress. A red and white patterned shawl is draped over her shoulders. She is wearing white gloves. In her hands, she holds a rectangular musical instrument, possibly a type of zither or psaltery. A curved plectrum or pick is positioned over the strings of the instrument. The woman is standing on a light gray surface, and a soft shadow is cast beneath her feet. The background is a plain, off-white color. The text 'Musicienne du Sérail' is written in elegant script at the bottom of the image.
