This print depicts a seated woman, with her body partially turned to the right and her face in profile, facing right. She has a long, straight nose, a strong brow, round eyes, and thin lips in a neutral expression, and her wavy hair is styled loosely around her head. She is wearing a draped garment, similar to a toga, which flows elegantly around her and bunches around her arms. The woman is holding a large blank tablet in her left hand, and her right elbow is resting on a piece of furniture. An inkwell with a quill inside it is on a surface next to her, on the right. One of her feet is visible below her garment, resting on what looks like a thick book. Behind her is a plain wall. The print contains thin white and black lines against a pale blue-gray background.
