This drawing shows a serious-looking woman in a long robe and hood. She holds a tall staff in one hand and a small book or tablet in the other. Her face is plain, with a slight frown, and the lines of her clothes are sharp and precise. The word "GRAMMATICA" is written at the bottom, meaning she likely stands for grammar or learning. The image is made with fine lines and shading, giving it a detailed but slightly rough look. If you like this style, check out how engraving works.
