The image depicts a sketch of a person's head and partial upper shoulders, mainly featuring the hairstyle. The head is turned slightly to the left, with stylized features. The face is minimally detailed with basic outlines, excluding eyes but including a nose and closed lips. The hair is drawn in a smooth, stylized manner, brown in color, and styled in an elegant updo. Adorning the hair are decorative elements like silver-colored small leaves and a prominent pink rose at the center. The sketch shows no visible clothing or accessories, with the focus solely on the hairstyle and floral decoration. The background is plain, and there is a smaller inset sketch below the main figure, depicting the back view of the hairstyle with the same adornments.
