A young girl with pale skin and blonde hair stands at the center of the composition, her gaze directed outward with a calm, almost solemn expression. Her right hand rests lightly on a blue-covered table at her side, while her left hand holds a closed fan, the delicate gesture emphasizing her youth and formality. The background is dominated by heavy green drapery that falls in deep folds, creating a dark, textured backdrop that frames the figure and intensifies the contrast with her pale dress and skin.

Light falls gently from the left, illuminating the girl's face and the front of her dress, while subtle shadows model her features and the folds of the fabric. The artist’s brushwork is visible in the textured rendering of the drapery and the soft, almost feathery treatment of the child’s hair, while the dress is painted with a combination of precise detail and loose, fluid strokes. The carpet beneath her feet is richly decorated with swirling patterns in red, gold, and black, grounding the scene and adding warmth to the composition.

A delicate necklace and bracelet, both rendered with fine highlights, complete her attire and emphasize her status. A clear glass vase holding a bouquet of blue, white, and pink flowers sits near the left edge of the blue-covered table. The green drapery in the background is painted with sweeping, loose lines that create a sense of depth and movement.

The lower right corner of the painting is filled with the intricate red and gold carpet, whose swirling motifs extend up to the girl’s feet. The light source from the left creates a gentle highlight along the left side of the vase and casts a faint shadow behind it on the tablecloth. The Kunsthistorisches Museum identifies the sitter as Margaret Theresa of Spain, shown with a hand fan, a vase, a bouquet, a carpet, drapery, a curtain, a necklace, and a bracelet. The painting’s composition, with the child standing beside a table and surrounded by luxurious objects, conveys both her innocence and her royal status.
