This portrait shows a woman in a white head covering and a dark robe, holding a book. Her face is lit from the side, with shadows on the right side of her face and the book. The background is dark. The woman's gaze is directed slightly to the side, and her expression is neutral. Her clothing and head covering are simple but elegant. This painting is by the artist Pontormo.
