The image shows an artistic rendering of a woman's head and shoulders. The woman has her chin resting on her hand. Her facial features are stylized with dark lines outlining her eyes, nose, and lips. Her hair is long and dark, flowing around her shoulders. She is wearing clothing with a patterned design near the neck, and there is a button or brooch detail on her collar. The background is a plain, light color which contrasts with the dark lines of the portrait.
