The image shows a portrait of a woman's face and partial upper body, with her head facing forward. Her facial features are drawn with simple, bold lines, including her eyes, nose, and lips. She has dark, wavy hair, partially covered by a wide-brimmed hat. Minimal lines suggest she is wearing a garment with a collar and possible decorative elements like flowers. The background is plain.
