The image depicts a young woman shown from the waist up, seated and slightly angled to the side with her head turned towards the viewer. Her features are delicately drawn, with a gentle expression and prominent eyes. Her hair is styled back with a decorative ribbon or headpiece. She wears a cloak over a dress with gathered sleeves and intricate drapery. She is holding an open book on her lap with her left hand, and her right hand is resting on it. The background is minimal, and the drawing style features soft lines and gentle shading.
