This drawing features a seated woman, her body turned to the right and her head facing us. Her hands are in her lap, holding an object resembling a book. The woman has dark curly hair styled under a lace-adorned bonnet. She has deep-set eyes, thin eyebrows, and a small mouth. The woman's face and neck are drawn in detail, but her clothes and accessories are roughly sketched. She wears a dark dress under a shawl with patterns and tassels that covers her shoulders and arms. In the background, there is a faint sketch of a scene with architectural structures, including an obelisk and steps leading to a building with domes or towers.
