The image displays an upper torso portrait of a person seated at a desk. The individual is facing forward with their body slightly turned to the right. They have a full head of curly hair that cascades down onto their shoulders, framing their face. They have a neutral expression. They are wearing a richly detailed, patterned robe over a light-colored shirt with ruffled cuffs at the wrists. One elbow is resting on the desk while the other hand holds a drawing or print. Various artistic instruments are laid out on the desk. In the background, there is a library shelf filled with large books, some with visible titles, and a draped curtain to the right.
