A large book sits on the base. The pedestal tapers upward to support a stack of books. The woman leans on the stack with her right forearm. Her left hand holds a folded paper. Her dress drapes over her right shoulder. The pedestal and base are decorated with names. The woman's hair is styled in an 18th-century fashion. She wears earrings and a necklace. The background is a mottled gray color.
