The image shows a woman sitting at a table in profile, leaning her head on one hand while the other rests on the table. She has delicate facial features, dark hair styled in an updo, and is dressed in a garment with a floral pattern and a high collar. The table is cluttered with items including a comb, a rolled-up scroll, and a small bowl. The woman is gazing at a handheld mirror. The background is dimly lit with a simple curtain.
