This is an artistic black and white illustration depicting a woman deeply engrossed in reading a book. The woman has long, flowing hair and features distinctly detailed ink work, adding depth and emotion to her expression. She is reading a red, elaborately decorated book. Her appearance is serene and contemplative, suggesting a moment of quiet introspection or escape into the literary world. The artwork uses high contrast and stylization, employing dark and light areas to accentuate the subject and her engagement with the book.
