The image is a portrait showing the upper half of a person's body, primarily focusing on the head and shoulders in profile view. The person is positioned facing to the left. They have a discernible profile with prominent cheekbones, a strong nose, and smooth skin. Their hair is black, styled in a straight fringe across the forehead with the remainder pulled back into a bun at the back of the head. The individual is wearing an orange garment with a high collar. A necklace with turquoise and silver beads drapes over the shoulders, and there is a triangular turquoise earring visible on the ear. The background is a plain, light color that contrasts with the shadow of the head.
