Summary

The head and shoulders of a woman with long blonde and white hair turned slightly to the left. She holds a stem of corn in her right hand and rests a leather bound book against this hand. In her left hand she holds an unidentifiable object but appears to point to a butterfly with her left index finger which is sitting on her robe.
