In front of a book press stands a woman with a book in her arms and the stem of an iris in her hand. The tools of a printmaker dangle from her belt. Her gaze is directed at the personification of the wind, who tries to enter through the open window.
Bookbinding tools hang on the workbench in the foreground.
