The image depicts a woman shown from the waist up. She is positioned facing forward with her right hand adjusting her hat, giving her body a slight twist. Her facial features include prominent eyes and arched eyebrows, with medium-length hair styled in soft waves beneath a wide-brimmed hat. She wears a dark coat with a fur-lined collar over a blouse that is slightly open at the collar. In her left hand, she holds a pair of gloves and some rolled-up papers. She is wearing stud earrings. The background is a detailed street scene with signage visible, suggesting an urban setting, and a figure can be seen in the distance. The style is reminiscent of an ink drawing with intricate line work.
