The image depicts a woman sitting at an angle and looking over her shoulder. Her hair is braided, and she is wearing a flowing garment, a necklace, and a draped cloak or fabric over one shoulder. She holds a book in her left hand and a crown of thorns in her right hand. She is seated on a block or structure with architectural elements, and the background has simple lined patterns.
