A three-quarter right side portrait of Deborah Worsley of Platt, seated in a wooden chair and wearing an elaborate grey dress of the period, about 1765, with a lace collar and cap. Her dress consists of layers of pleated sections, with some parts ruched for further decorative effect. She wears a long glove on her left hand, which rests in her lap, in which she also holds the right hand glove. Her bare right hand rests on the arm of the chair. There is a dark, neutral background with a suggestion of a blue, gilt edged sofa and blue drape to the left. She looks directly at the viewer.
