The image is a portrait of a young woman sitting on a chair. She is wearing a large, brown fur coat that covers her body and is draped over her shoulders. The coat has a high collar and long sleeves, and she is also wearing a wide-brimmed hat with a wide brim. The woman is holding a book in her hands and appears to be deep in thought. She has a serious expression on her face and is looking off to the side. The background is a dark room with a window and a lamp on the right side of the image. The painting is done in a realistic style, with loose brushstrokes and vibrant colors.
