An interesting question.
I think it really depends on the subject that is being described.
There are certain things that certain languages are better capable of describing with a richness.
When speaking about the past, for example, modern Hungarian only has a single past tense, having lost the other two that modern English still has. This makes English better capable of describing certain events in the past.
This doesn't mean that Hungarian can't express the same events, it simply requires more words to do so, thereby making it somewhat more bulky than English.
When it comes to describing a woman, it is sort of hard to tell. From a poetic stand-point, Italian probably does a pretty good job when it describes a woman due to Italian's nature as being a language that virtually rhymes and flows without any effort on your part.
On the other hand, both English and Hungarian are gifted with having very extensive vocabularies (both have 500,000+ words), which puts a lot of descriptive words at your disposal.
Here is a short attempt by me to describe a face in English:
Her flowing brunette hair ran down her smooth and soft face, which was adorned with a wide, tender smile under her sparkling green eyes.
Looking back at the sentence, the way I described it seems to be by setting up facts one after another, with each fact being connected to the last.
Were I to attempt to describe this face in Hungarian, I would have a greater variety of methods to express this sentence, since Hungarian doesn't need to follow such a strict word order. Would it be better though? I don't think so. This subject is sort of a tie between English and Hungarian.
There are plenty of subjects, though, that English is better at describing than other languages, and naturally vice-versa.
I have always found that you can express humour better in Hungarian, because of simply the way the language works.
English I think excels best at being able to express many concepts with very few words. I read once that with knowledge of English's most basic 1,000 words, you can survive in an English speaking country.
Anyways, I hope I didn't ramble on for too long, and I hope this was a good enough answer.
