The image shows a person standing in profile from head to knee. Their head is turned slightly upwards and to the side. The person's facial features are softly illuminated against a dark backdrop, with dark hair falling over their shoulders. They are wearing an off-the-shoulder, dark-colored garment blending into the background. There is a circular, light-colored accessory in their hair and a glowing circular object in their hand, illuminating part of the chest area. The backdrop is mainly dark with a soft gold framed border pattern, and the artist's signature "STEICHEN MDCCCCV" is visible at the bottom within the decorative framework.
