When trying to figure out light, the first thing you should do is look for reflective surfaces that might show you the lights themselves. In this case (and in many cases, with portraits) you can look at the eyes. In her eyes, you can see that there's a very large soft light source to camera left. Most likely a large window, or big softbox. It also helps to look at the shadows. The camera-right side of her nose has a shadow, but it's filled in quite a bit, and there's no hard edge on the shadow, so you know the light source was soft and large in relation to her face. The light is either REALLY large, like a huge window, or is close to her, because the reflection looks so large. The center of the light source is slightly above her head (because the reflection goes higher in her eyes)
I say a window or a softbox rather than an octobox because it looks like the reflection in her eyes has straight edges.
It's also probably either even with the photographer, or at the very least, in front of the model, rather than being right next to her, because it looks like indirect lighting, and the camera-right side of her face is so filled in without obvious fill light (No second reflection in her eyes to show another light or intense fill from a reflector on that side.
She's probably in a fairly light colored room with nice levels of ambient lighting, which fills in toe shadow side of her face.
Then, shot with a long lens (probably 100mm equivalent or more) at around f/2.8
Then processed and edited in post, to bring out her freckles, add contrast, and shift the colors a bit.
