Portrait of a young European woman dressed in an elaborate medieval attire dating from the 12th century. A linen headscarf, filetta, and barbette completely conceal her hair and cover the woman's entire neck. On top of the headscarf is a veil that completely covers her head, forehead, and falls below her shoulders. Along the edge of the veil, delicate gold floral embroidery adds sophistication. The veil is secured at the top of her head with a jeweled tiara, creating a regal accessory. Her attire consists of a fully enclosed, long, ivory gown with rich gold embroidery, including floral motifs and swirls on the bodice. A purple velvet cape with intricate gold embroidery falls from her shoulders, reaching the floor. The edges of the cape have a diamond pattern along the sleeves, complementing the intricate design of the dress. A lavender sash with a geometric diamond pattern cinches her waist, tied in a decorative knot with a matching braided cord. A pearl necklace with a prominent gold cross studded with gemstones hangs from beneath her headscarf over her dress. The woman has a straight, classical nose and rounded European features with a smooth, even chin. Her expression is calm and contemplative, her gaze slightly downcast but her head level, conveying a sense of grace and dignity. The lighting is soft and diffused, highlighting her features and the rich texture of her clothing without casting harsh shadows. This creates a balanced exposure with medium contrast and low saturation, highlighting her figure. The background is a medieval depiction of Aquitanian, Norman, French and English heraldry on a smooth, dark ochre wall.
