Black and white drawing of a woman seated in an ornate chair. The woman wears a white dress with puffy sleeves and a head covering. She sits with her body angled to the right. A white bird sits on the right shoulder of the woman. A curtain hangs behind the woman. A window to the left shows a landscape and a potted plant on the sill. The woman holds an open book on her lap with both hands. A sculpture of a human head rests on the floor beside her. The border around the drawing is textured.
