The image shows an engraving of a woman depicted from the waist up. She is standing with her body angled slightly towards the left, facing forward. She has refined facial features and is wearing a religious habit that completely covers her hair and neck. The clothing is traditional for a nun, with a veil and wimple. Her left hand is visible, holding a book with her index finger pointing on a page, while the right hand seems to be holding the book open. In the background, there is a crucifix to her left. The background also features a simple, textured surface with no other prominent elements. On the bottom of the image is a block of script in Latin.
