The image is an etching by Marc Chagall depicting a large face and a smaller full-length figure of a woman. The woman stands with her body angled slightly to the right, facing forward. Her facial features are lightly drawn, including eyes, nose, and mouth. She has dark, loose hair and wears a long patterned dress. The face is detailed with expressive eyes, a narrow nose, and a slight smile. The background consists of abstract buildings, trees, and a horizon line in a dreamlike style typical of Chagall. Chagall's signature "Marc Chagall" is seen in the bottom right corner.
