The image shows a portrait of a woman seated in a chair. She is facing slightly to the left and looking directly at the viewer. She has fair skin, light-colored eyes, and dark brown hair styled under a lace-edged cap. She wears a black dress with a lace collar and holds a small book titled "Sacred Songs" in one hand. She also wears a bracelet on her wrist. She is seated in a chair with a red upholstered back and an armrest draped with embroidered blue and green fabric. The background is a plain, muted brown color.
