A woman with long curled brown hair stands beneath a rowan tree with red berries, wearing a blue dress and a green shawl, with a wreath of oak leaves on her head. In her right hand she steadies a large red harp resting on the floor and in her left hand she holds a sprig of mistletoe. She is looking to her left with a neutral expression. Behind her is an orange and cream pattern of shell motifs. The background of the image is a light cream canvas colour.
