The image portrays a person sitting in an armchair facing a window. The person is leaned back slightly, looking out of the window. Their facial features are not clearly visible due to the profile angle. The person is wearing nightclothes and the chair is ornate. A book is placed nearby. Outside the window, there is a cityscape with several buildings under the light of a full moon.
