The image shows a woman from the upper torso up, positioned slightly turned to the right with her head tilted gently downward. Her eyes are closed, and she has delicate facial features with long hair partly covered by a dark head scarf or veil, with a light-colored band visible at her forehead. She is dressed in a dark, textured garment with a light-colored shirt underneath, and holds a cloth or handkerchief in her hands, which are placed near her chest. The background is an indistinct, softly textured surface.
