The image shows a portrait of a person's head and shoulders. The person is in a three-quarter view, facing slightly to the left. They have soft facial features with full lips and pronounced eyebrows. Their hair is dark, wavy, and neatly combed back. The person is wearing a collared shirt under an outer garment, potentially a sweater. Details are not vivid due to the grayscale nature of the image. There are no visible pieces of jewelry or objects held. The background is shaded with various tones, creating a textured appearance. The name "Bertha" is in the bottom left corner, and the artist's signature, "Sallée," is on the bottom right.
