The image features a simple line drawing of the upper half of a face. The face is forward-facing, showing the eyes, nose, and mouth. The eyes are almond-shaped with lightly sketched eyebrows above. The nose has a sharp line outlining the bridge. The mouth is shown with slightly parted lips. Minimalistic hair is suggested by sweeping lines on the forehead and sides of the face. Strong, direct lines and shading are used for depth. There is no visible neck or body. The background is plain, and there is a red circular stamp with text in the lower right corner.
