The image shows a woman seated in a chair. She is facing forward and has a direct gaze at the viewer. She has light-colored eyes, fair complexion, and small curls of brown hair visible under her white lace-trimmed cap. She wears a high-collared black garment with voluminous sleeves and a lace collar matching her cap. She holds a small brown book in her hands, placed on her lap. The background is a plain, muted green.
