Visual Summary

Brief Description

A woman in a white head covering holds an open book, framed by golden columns

Detailed Description

A head-and-shoulders portrait of a woman is presented within an architectural frame. The woman is positioned centrally, facing slightly right with her gaze directed to the right. Her fair skin has subtle pink tones on her cheeks, and her lips are closed with a neutral expression. She wears a large, white, pleated head covering that drapes over her shoulders, obscuring her hair and ears. The fabric shows soft folds and shadows. Beneath the head covering, she wears a dark, possibly black or deep brown, garment with a V-neckline. Her left hand is visible at the bottom center, holding an open book with light-colored pages and a dark binding. She wears a gold ring with a reddish stone on her left ring finger. The background behind her is a dark, unadorned space. The portrait is enclosed by an architectural frame featuring two golden, fluted columns with ornate capitals on either side. Above, a decorative architrave with a central, lighter-colored, carved element connects the columns. The bottom edge of the frame is a dark, textured band.
