The woman's pose and expression suggest a contemplative and focused engagement with her work. This piece is notable for its classicizing style, which reflects the artistic trends of the era. Prud'hon's meticulous detail in portraying the figure and her surroundings contributes to the work's sense of solemnity and intellectual rigor.
