Español: Mujer sentada con un libro abierto en el regazo

Un dibujo a pluma con tinta parda y aguada marrón muestra a una mujer mayor sentada en una silla de respaldo alto, que vuelve el rostro hacia el espectador mientras sus manos descansan sobre un libro abierto en su regazo. Un cuello blanco enmarca su rostro, y una luz diagonal recorre la pared del fondo.
