The image shows a stylized portrait of a person with only the head and shoulders visible. The person is facing forward, gazing slightly to the side. Their face has bold features, including a pronounced nose and full lips, with a serene or neutral expression. The hair is long and straight, falling to the shoulders. They are wearing an elaborate headpiece, reminiscent of a helmet or ornate cap, with intricate designs and feather-like textures. The background is plain. The text above reads "DE HOOGHE'S SIBYL" in small letters, and there are signatures and numbering beneath the image on the lower margins of the paper. The paper's border is wide, framing the portrait centrally.
