A woman with dark, wavy hair styled in an elegant updo with loose strands framing her face is seated on an ornate, high-backed sofa. She is wearing a vibrant, deep red, floor-length gown with a draped, asymmetrical neckline and long, flowing sleeves that pool around her arms and rest on the sofa. The dress has a fitted bodice and a high slit on the right leg, revealing her leg. She is adorned with a prominent, ornate gold necklace featuring large, intricate, possibly floral or geometric, pendant elements. Her makeup is polished, with defined eyes and bold red lipstick. She is looking directly at the camera with a subtle, confident expression, her head slightly tilted. Her left hand rests on the sofa cushion, while her right hand is placed gently on her thigh. The sofa is upholstered in a light, patterned fabric with a subtle damask design, and its frame is heavily carved in a gold or gilt finish, featuring classical motifs. To the right of the sofa, a matching ornate side table with a decorative, possibly gilded, carved top and legs is partially visible. The background consists of a plain, light-colored wall with subtle molding, suggesting a luxurious, formal interior. The lighting is soft and directional, highlighting the woman and the textures of the fabric and wood, casting gentle shadows. The overall composition is formal and elegant, with a focus on the subject and the opulent surroundings.
