This is a sketch of the upper half of a woman's body. She is seated with her arms in her lap, hands lightly clasped. Her head is turned three-quarters to the right, showing her facial features: a rounded face, prominent nose, and slightly parted lips. Her hair is styled up with soft waves framing her face. She wears a long-sleeved dress with a high collar, gathered waist, and fabric draping neatly. A brooch or button is indicated at the neckline. The background is plain, emphasizing the woman's details.
