The image depicts a woman positioned with her upper body slightly turned to the side. Her right arm is raised, holding the handle of a sword or similar object with a severed head hanging from it. The woman has delicate features, short straight hair, and is dressed in a flowing garment. She holds one edge of her garment to her face, partially covering it. In the foreground, there is another person visible from the back, with their head wrapped in cloth and wearing a similar fabric around their body. The background is stark and mostly blank, focusing attention on the central figures and objects.
