The image is a painting of a young woman sitting at a table with a book and a skull in front of her. She is wearing a white blouse and a green skirt with a yellow shawl draped over her shoulders. Her head is resting on her hand and she appears to be deep in thought. The table is covered with a green tablecloth and there are several books and other objects scattered around it. In the background, there is a stone wall with a globe hanging on it. The sky is blue and the overall mood of the painting is somber and contemplative. The painting is framed in an ornate gold ornate frame.
