The sketch shows the upper half of a person's body, from the shoulders up, in a side-facing profile view. The person's head is slightly tilted upwards and to the right. The facial features include a nose, lips, and an eye looking slightly forward. They have medium-length hair that softly frames the face. The drawing focuses on the facial structure and hair, with simple lines indicating the shoulders. There are no details of clothing, jewelry, or objects. The background is plain, highlighting the sketched figure.
