- Lady Eleanor Dundas is shown half length, seated in front of a brown background. She looks towards the light source to the right of the painting.

- Subject Matter
- Raeburn was a well-known portrait painter working in his native Scotland. He usually worked directly on the canvas without preliminary under drawing and his broad approach is well conveyed in the figure's costume. He was also very attentive to the sitter's features, framing Lady Dundas's features against the dark veil and gossamer lace of her dress.
