The illustration portrays two figures. One figure is a seated woman, shown from head to feet with her body slightly turned to the right. Her hair is styled with waves and appears tied back. She wears a classical dress and holds a key against her left shoulder with her left hand. Standing next to her is a small, winged child-like figure holding a rectangular board displaying the alphabet. The background includes textured walls and stone-like structures, one of which the woman is seated on, with an inscription reading "ACITAM MARG." The setting suggests an antique or classical scene.
