Their hair is not visible, and specific facial features cannot be distinguished due to the positioning of their arm. The person is wearing what appears to be a skirt. There are no visible jewelry items or objects being held. The background includes a closed door frame and part of a piece of furniture, possibly a cabinet or a dresser.
