This is a photo reproduction of an engraving of a painting by William Boxall, depicting a woman reading a book. The image is a close-up portrait of the woman, showcasing her thoughtful expression as she rests her hand on her cheek. The work is likely a Romantic portrait, emphasizing the contemplative nature of reading and the power of the written word. The small size of the reproduction suggests it was intended for personal use, perhaps as a bookmark or part of a collection.
