The image features a full-body sketch of a person standing in an elegant pose. The figure leans against a round table with both hands placed on it. The face has minimal detail, with slight emphasis on the eyes and mouth. The hair is styled in an updo. The person wears a flowing gown with intricate details on the sleeves and bodice, with buttons and a defined waistline. A cloak drapes from the shoulders to the floor.
