A vertically oriented drypoint in black ink depicts a woman in profile facing right, wearing a dark, spotted headscarf and looking down at an open book. Sketchy, frenetic lines and ink splatters shade her clothing, while a small animal sits upright on the bench beside her. To the left, a faint hanging lamp is outlined. The composition utilizes expressive line work and grainy textures against a pale background.
