The book reveals that silver-haired women have red eyes and that brown-eyed women can either have blond or red hair. You must figure out the hair color of the painting with blue eyes.
Hint: In order to gather more information to solve this puzzle, interact with the dresser in the Music Box Room or open the inventory. Doing so will allow you to learn about Viola's physical features, as she is a woman of said region.
