The image shows an abstract representation of a person with the head, shoulders, and part of one arm depicted. The head is turned slightly to the side with facial features created using bold, dark strokes. The hair is short and similarly dark, blending into the facial contours. The rest of the figure is depicted with broad strokes of orange paint, with the arm outstretched in the same color. Beneath the arm, there are vibrant red strokes. The background is a light-colored canvas. No jewelry or additional objects are visible.
