The image shows a sketch of a person's head and part of the neck in profile, facing left. The facial features are emphasized, with minimal detail on the nose, lips, and chin. The hair is short or possibly tucked under a cloth, indicated by darker shading. There are no details of clothing, but a hint of draped fabric over the head and neck suggests the person may be wearing a hood or veil. There is no visible jewelry or objects held. The background is a plain light-colored paper with small marks, smudges, and discoloration, and a red ink stamp in the bottom right corner indicates archival information.
