The image shows a woman seated in an ornate armchair. She has fair skin, blue eyes, dark hair styled in an updo, and is wearing a dark dress with puffed sleeves and a lace collar. She holds a red book and there is a double-strand pearl necklace around her neck. In the background, there is a column and a landscape with mountains under a cloudy sky.
