A horizontal oil painting depicts an older woman with light skin tone seated in a high-backed chair, her body angled toward our left. Her head tilts down, draped in a large pale yellow cloth. She wears dark clothing and clutches eyeglasses in her lap. To our left, an open book rests on a round table beside her leaning walking stick. Thick, visible brushwork highlights the cloth and book against a dark, shadowy background.
