Brief Description

Young woman with flowers in hair, pearl necklace, reads open book by a lamp

Detailed Description

This oval-shaped painting depicts a young woman in profile, facing towards the right side of the frame. Her light brown, curly hair is styled upwards, adorned with several pink roses. Her fair skin features rosy cheeks, and her eyes are cast downwards, focused on an open book she holds with both hands. A strand of white pearls encircles her neck, draped over her left shoulder and chest. She wears a loose-fitting white garment, partially covered by rich red drapery that cascades around her shoulders and lower body. The open book, held at an angle, reveals pages with faint lines of text or musical notation. It rests on a surface covered by a green cloth. To the right of the book, a stack of two books, one red and one blue, is visible. Perched atop these books is a golden oil lamp with a small, dark wick or flame at its spout. The background is a soft, light blue, transitioning to a lighter, almost cream color towards the bottom. The overall composition is contained within an oval border.
