The image is the cover of the Penguin Classics edition of Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë. It features a painted portrait of a young woman with dark hair parted in the center, tied back, and wearing a white lace collar over a blue dress with red-brown stripes. She appears to be adjusting her hair and is gazing to the side. The bottom portion of the cover is black with the text “CHARLOTTE BRONTË” and “JANE EYRE” in white, separated by a thin orange line, and above that, the Penguin Classics logo in orange and black.
