This print shows a nude woman sitting with her torso facing forward and her head bowed downwards and to the right. The woman has simple facial features, closed or almost-closed eyes, and long, wavy hair falling over her shoulders. She sits on top of a surface covered with abstract shapes that give the impression of folded cloth, with one of her legs raised on the edge of the surface. Her fingers are holding an abstract object that looks almost like a severed head with flowing hair, but the details are hard to determine. The background is plain.
