The image shows a partial body view of a person from the waist up. The individual is standing with arms crossed. The head is slightly bowed and the hair is dark and voluminous. The person is wearing a two-piece outfit: an upper garment covering the torso and a patterned skirt that goes just above the knee. The clothing is depicted with crosshatch lines. There are no visible jewelry or objects. The background has a rough texture with a grid of lines on the right side. The artwork is monochromatic with shading creating contrast between the figure and the background.
