The image shows a half-body portrait of a person seated with arms crossed over their lap. The figure faces forward with bold facial features, including strong cheekbones, a defined jawline, pronounced eyebrows, and a slightly pursed mouth. The hair is styled close to the head. The individual is clothed in a high-collared garment with intricate, patterned lines for texture. There are no visible accessories or objects, and the background is plain. The artist’s signature and edition number are at the bottom of the artwork.
