The image shows a woman seated from the knees up in profile, with her head slightly turned to the right. Her facial features are detailed, with a serene expression, a straight nose, and soft lips. She has braided hair styled in a bun with an earring on one ear. She wears a flowing gown, and holds a scepter in her left hand while her right hand rests on her lap. An open book is on the ground near her feet. The background is dark and textured, with a rocky surface. The image is framed with text at the bottom.
