The image shows a woman from the upper thigh upwards. She is seated, with her left hand on her side and her right hand palm open and slightly extended forward. She has a serene expression with large eyes, a straight nose, and closed lips. Her hair is neatly styled with a middle part and a braided detail. She is wearing a long-sleeved gown with a rounded neckline, a necklace with spherical beads, a bracelet on her left wrist, and an earring on her right ear. A few books are stacked next to her on the left side, and some beads or pearls are scattered on the ground next to the books. The background has a textured pattern.
