A woman is writing in a book; perhaps she is a scribe, or a nun in a monastery. She is wearing mediaeval [medieval]-style blue dress and a white headdress. She is seated at a table with a small open box; there are wall-hangings and a leaded diamond-paned window. At her feet sits a dog, a symbol perhaps of fidelity. |
