The image depicts a woman from her knees up. She is seated sideways, with her body slightly leaning against a wall or structure. Her facial features are partially visible, including a prominent nose and a somewhat furrowed expression. Her dark hair is pulled back and partially covered by a headscarf. She is wearing a textured shawl or blanket with fringed edges that covers most of her upper body, along with pants, thick socks or stockings, and sturdy black shoes. There is a railing next to her, suggesting she is sitting on a set of stairs or a similar structure. The background shows part of a building with visible bricks and a doorway or window frame to the upper right. The image is in black and white.
