The image shows a close-up of a woman's face in a classic pop art style. It highlights one eye, the nose, and the lips, while the rest of the face fades into a dotted blue background. The eye has a black outline and a green iris, and the lips are full, colored in orange with a pink shadow. The blond hair is shown with yellow lines on a light background. There is no visible jewelry. The artwork uses bold colors and defined areas of color or dots. The background consists of blue dots. The lower section of the image contains a handwritten signature and print edition details.
