The image shows a sketch of a woman sitting at a table. The woman is upright, slightly angled to her left, and facing forward. She has softly sketched facial features and styled hair with a hat featuring a feather. She is wearing a textured garment, possibly a dress with a high collar and voluminous sleeves. Sitting next to a round table, there is a teacup and saucer. The background is minimally detailed with faint lines suggesting interior elements.
