The artwork shows an abstract portrait of a person's face, focusing on the head and neck. The individual appears to be facing directly toward the viewer in a neutral position. The facial features are emphasized with bold, thick lines around the eyebrows and eyes, which are painted with dark colors, while the eye sockets have a touch of blue. The person's lips are depicted with an orange hue. The hair is stylized in an extremely short or shaved hairstyle, with some yellowish tones on the head. There is no visible clothing, but the neck area is filled with soft green and orange washes. The background is a blend of pale, soft colors including pinks and yellows.
