The image is a painting of a young woman sitting at a table with a skull in front of her. She is wearing a white blouse with a blue collar and a yellow shawl draped over her shoulders. Her hair is styled in a messy bun and she is holding the skull with both hands. The skull is resting on a book and there is an hourglass on the table next to it. The background appears to be a landscape with mountains and a blue sky. The painting is done in a realistic style with loose brushstrokes and vibrant colors. The overall mood of the image is somber and contemplative.
