The image depicts a woman's upper body in profile, from the shoulders up. She is facing the right side of the image, with delicate outlines defining her features. The woman has a graceful neck and jawline, and styled hair, possibly in an updo with flowing lines suggesting waves or curls. She wears a sleeveless garment. The background consists of sketch-like, curved lines for texture without depicting specific objects. There are no visible jewelry or objects in the woman's hands.
