The painting depicts a woman in a white dress with an orange shawl leaning on a table. Her head is resting on her arms, which are folded on the table. She appears to be sitting on a low platform or stool. The woman's hair is light brown and her body is facing left. The table has a candle with a lit flame on it, and a feather quill and piece of paper. The background is dark, with a bed behind the woman. The floor is tiled in a checkered pattern. The painting is framed with a thin gold line.
