Hard-paste porcelain, painte in enamels, and gilded
Hard-paste porcelain, press-moulded, and painted in blue, green, yellow, flesh-pink, pale mauve, red, pale brown, and grey enamels, and lightly gilded. The unglazed base has a small circular ventilation hole to left of centre. The approximately circular base has a frilled edge on the viewer's left, and on the right, overlapping shells, and a scroll picked out in gold. The lady steps forward on her left foot, and has her left arm advanced to support the stick of her green parasol. Her pale grey hair is drawn up into a top-knot, and she has a blue head band at the front of her head. She wears a high-necked, long-sleeved pale mauve tunic with yellow edges, a green belt, and a long white skirt scattered with sprays of polychrome flowers and foliage. The tip of the yellow shoe on her right foot is just visible below the hem of her skirt.
