A woman in a patterned vest and headband sits, holding a book, against a hazy landscape
A woman is seated against a hazy landscape, occupying the majority of the foreground and positioned slightly to the right of the center. She is shown from the waist up, with her body angled slightly to the left. Her head is tilted downwards, and her gaze is directed towards the lower left. Her right arm is bent, with her hand resting on her head, fingers lightly touching her temple. A ring is visible on her right ring finger. Her left arm is extended downwards, and her hand holds a small, closed book with a teal or green cover. She wears a yellow headband over her dark hair, which falls over her shoulders. Her attire consists of a light-colored, possibly white, blouse with wide sleeves, over which she wears a patterned vest with red trim. A white apron or skirt covers her lap. The colors of her clothing are predominantly muted whites, creams, browns, and grays, with accents of yellow on the headband and red on the vest trim. A dark, possibly black, garment or shawl is draped over her left shoulder and arm. The background is loosely painted with broad strokes, depicting a hazy, grayish-blue sky above indistinct, dark hills or mountains. Strong contrasts between light and shadow are visible, particularly on the woman's face and clothing.
