Description
A woman draped in a flowing white and blue gown is seated next to a table with a book and a candlestick, her head resting gently on her hand in a pensive pose. Richly patterned tapestries and a prominent classical painting featuring a crucifixion scene adorn the room, while an elaborate globe and scattered instruments suggest a study or a space for contemplation. The checkered floor and the precise rendering of textures and light contribute to an atmosphere of Renaissance luxury and introspection.
