The image shows an etching or an engraving, with a central figure and a background that appears to be an outdoor setting. The figure is a woman dressed in period clothing, likely from the 18th or 19th century, based on the style of her dress. She wears a full-length, full-skirted dress and a dark shawl or cloak with a hood that covers her head, obscuring much of her face except for the area around her eyes. She is holding something that looks like a bird in her hands in front of her at chest level, and the bird's wings are spread as if it is either being released or has just been caught. Behind the woman, the setting includes what appears to be a classical or Gothic architecture, indicated by pointed arches and a rose window of a large church or cathedral. On the left side, there is a statue on a pedestal and further back, a silhouette of a person and a structure that could be a monument or another building. In the foreground, to the right of the woman, is an animal, possibly a dog, resting on the ground. The etching has shading that gives the scene a dramatic and moody atmosphere, suggesting that this might be taking place in the evening or under overcast skies. There is text below the image, which seems to be in French, but it is partly obscured, so I cannot provide a full translation or interpretation of it. The artist's name might be included in the bottom left, but it is not clearly legible in this representation. This piece is likely to be a part of a story or a literary illustration based on the inclusion of text.

The image depicts a lone figure of a woman wearing a dark hooded cloak or dress, standing in front of a cityscape with gothic-style architecture and spires in the background. She appears to be holding a dog or small animal at her feet. The image has a somber, atmospheric quality, with a moody, shadowy style that conveys a sense of mystery or melancholy. The figure is the central focus, drawing the viewer's attention to her solitary presence in the urban setting.
