The table is covered with a canopy and there are several books and magazines stacked on top of each other. The books appear to be of different sizes and colors, and some have images and text on them. The woman is looking at the camera with a serious expression on her face. In the background, there are trees and a building visible. The overall mood of the image is somber and contemplative.
