National Gallery of Art

The image shows the upper half of a young girl's body seated at a table. She is looking down at a large open book in front of her. Her facial features are detailed with a pointed nose and closed lips. She has long, wavy hair tied back with a ribbon and is wearing a dress with puffed sleeves. Her hands are turning a page of the book. On the table, there are more books and a vase with flowers. The background features floral-patterned wallpaper and intricate woodwork, including a geometric design on a displayed plate.
