The image shows a portrait of a person in a seated position. The person is drawn in profile but slightly turned towards the viewer, with a broad forehead, large, deep-set eyes, and a straight nose. The dark, voluminous, and wavy hair is styled with part of it falling near the cheeks. They are wearing a dark upper garment, possibly a dress or blouse, with visible texture and shading and a patterned design across the chest area. A necklace is worn around the neck. The hands are shown resting on the lap, with the left hand partially visible. The background features a textured surface with soft, vertical lines, suggesting a drapery or curtain.
