The painting depicts a woman with dark hair, wearing a light-colored dress with puffy sleeves and a decorative shawl or cape over her shoulders. The dress has a low neckline and appears to be made of a lightweight material. Her right elbow rests on a table or desk, and her hand is raised to her face. The woman's left arm is also on the table. A rolled-up piece of paper is visible under her arm. The background of the painting is dark. The woman's gaze is directed towards the viewer. Greek letters are written in the upper-left corner.
