DescriptionA young woman is seated in an elaborately carved chair. She wears a dress with a laced bodice. Her jewelry includes bracelets on both wrists, a ring on her right middle finger, a necklace of beads or pearls, and pendant earrings. She appears to be asleep. An open book has fallen from her hands and rests on the stand of a large globe at the left. Two other books, one closed and one face down, lie on the floor nearby. A table covered with a tablecloth, with another book and a large glass vase on it, is at the far left. A large, round mirror in an elaborate frame is on the wall above. A guitar rests on the wall at the right, beneath an open window with leaded glass panes. A flowering vine, possibly a rosebush, is visible through the window.
