This portrait features a woman with curly dark hair, wearing a white dress and a patterned shawl. She holds a book in her hands, and her gaze is directed to the left. The background is a muted greenish-gray color. The subject's attire and hairstyle suggest a sense of elegance and refinement. The artist's use of oil paint creates a rich, textured effect that adds depth to the image. The painting's style and technique are reminiscent of the work of Vladimir Borovikovsky.
