She wears an elaborate diaphanous collar with lace fringes that is tied at the neck with a pink ribbon and a dress made of luxurious fabrics. While the face of the sitter is smooth and idealized, her clothing is rendered with meticulous attention to detail and texture.

Groups of men gamble, smoke, and drink in a dark guardroom. In the left foreground a seated man wearing a red sash lights his white clay pipe, while his companion pauses his smoking to listen to a man standing next to him. The red of the smoker&#39;s sash is repeated in the flag and fabrics strewn about in the right foreground, which form part of a still-life of weapons, musical instruments, and glinting armor heaped together against the wall. Between these brightly lit foreground vignettes the scene recedes into the darkened interior where a group of five men gather about a table to gamble.
