The image is a monochromatic drawing of a woman from her head to just below her waist. She is depicted in a standing position with her body slightly turned to one side. Her facial features are minimalistic with simplified eyes, a nose, and lips. Her hair falls straight and shoulder-length with slight shading indicating texture. She is wearing a dark-colored suit with a visible lapel. Her arms are positioned down at her sides. The background is plain white, contrasting with the black outlines and shading of her figure. No jewelry or objects are present in the illustration.
