DescriptionThe image is that of a female figure lying on a carved stone bench that extends the width of the canvas. The figure has her head propped up with the left hand; the right hand is placed on a hieroglyphic manuscript that she is viewing. She is clothed in a sleeveless white dress that drapes around her body while two other textiles, one red, can be seen under her. A large vessel covered in hieroglyphics sits atop the low wall, which serves as the back of the bench, on the left. Tree tops fill in the background on the left, atmospheric clouds on the right.On View
