The image is a line drawing of a person's head and shoulders, with a focus on their face. The person is depicted in a three-quarter view, looking towards their left. The facial features are defined with flowing lines for the eyes, nose, and lips. The hair is suggested with sweeping lines. Minimal lines hint at clothing around the neck. No jewelry or objects are shown. The background is plain. The drawing is framed on a textured surface with an archival stamp at the bottom left corner.
