This image is a lithograph of a woman reading a book. She is dressed in a long, dark dress and has a hat on her head. The woman is sitting on a chair, and her body is turned slightly to the right. The woman's face is not clearly visible, but her posture suggests that she is deeply engrossed in her book. The background of the image is plain, which helps to focus attention on the woman and her activity.
