A classical oil painting portrait of an elderly woman with silver-white hair tied in a loose bun, her face adorned with gentle wrinkles and a kind, knowing smile. She wears a dark blue high-collared dress with lace trim and a cameo brooch at her neck. Her hands, slightly weathered, rest over a closed book. The background shows a dusky interior of an old library, with soft light coming through a stained-glass window. Painted in the traditional European portrait style with earthy tones and emotional depth
