The image depicts a partial illustration of a person's head and shoulders, focusing on an elaborate hairstyle. The hairstyle is styled in voluminous, swirling curls, predominantly grey and white in color, and is adorned with a light blue headband. The facial features are absent, creating an empty space where the face would normally be. A single gold hoop earring is visible on the right side of the person. Below the head and curls, the outline of another hairpiece or extension is sketched, consisting of more curls. The background is a plain off-white with light shading, emphasizing the illustrated hairstyle.
