The image is a sketch of a person in a seated position. The sketch shows an upper body view of the person. The face has an elongated shape and a pensive expression, with long hair flowing past the shoulders. The person's arms are positioned in a relaxed manner. The clothing is loosely indicated with minimal lines. The background is plain and neutral, with a cream-colored paper that has some small stains and marks. There are no additional objects or jewelry in the drawing. — Seated Woman (Portrait of Elizabeth?) (recto)
