The image shows a woman's upper body, facing forward with her head slightly turned to the left. She has soft facial features, light skin, and dark brown ringlet hair styled around her face. She wears a dress with a white lace collar, a pastel blue shawl with white floral patterns, a pink bow around her neck, and a small brooch. She holds a book in her left hand. The background includes a dark curtain on her right and a scenic view on her left with a river, buildings, a boat, and a colorful sky. The portrait is framed with floral and bird motifs.
