The image is a portrait of a young woman standing in a room with a blue curtain in the background. The woman is wearing a long, flowing dress with a high neckline and long sleeves. She is holding a bouquet of flowers in her left hand and a book in her right hand. Her hair is styled in an updo and she is looking off to the side with a serious expression on her face. The painting is framed in an ornate, gold-colored frame with intricate carvings on the edges. The frame appears to be hanging on a white wall.
