National Gallery of Art

The image shows a woman seated from the waist up, facing left. She has long curly hair partly covered by a veil. She wears an elaborate headpiece and a detailed garment with floral patterns. In her hands is an open book, surrounded by decorative elements. The background includes ornate text at the top and bottom and plant-like motifs on the sides.
