The image shows a black and white portrait of Maria Sibilla Merim, a woman with a serious expression on her face. She is wearing a white dress with a black shawl draped over her shoulders and her hair is pulled back in a bun. Her eyes are focused and her lips are slightly parted, giving her a gentle and serene look. Her hands are clasped in front of her and her posture is upright and dignified.
