A drawing of a standing woman wearing a dress and hat.

The drawing in graphite on white paper depicts a woman standing center-page. She is turned at three quarters, her gaze directed to the viewer. She wears a long-sleeved, ankle length dress and a large hat. She is standing on a low raised platform, her left hand touching the corner of a small table with six books at center. Behind her is a highly ornamented bookcase with a large vase on top. Beside the bookcase is a window with an open curtain, cropped on the left of the image.
