The image shows a drawing of a person depicted from the waist up. They are posed in profile, with their face turned upwards and to the left. The individual appears to have short, light-colored hair, styled simply and neatly. They are dressed in an outfit that features a sleeveless top with dark gloves extending above the elbows. The top part of their attire seems elaborate, possibly with a light-colored shawl or scarf draped around the shoulders. The surroundings include faintly visible text, suggesting the image is part of a printed page with a passage of writing primarily on the right side, alongside the drawing.
