This print is a close-up of a woman's face colored in flat, bright colors. She faces slightly to the left, and her head takes up most of the print. She has peach skin and short, bright yellow hair that curls around her face. Her arched eyebrows are thin and dark, and her eyes have yellow irises, long black lashes, and bold pink lids. She has a small nose and a beauty mark on the right side of her face, which is highlighted in pink. Her dark lips are open to reveal white teeth, and those are also all highlighted in pink. Her neck and the left and right edges of her face are in shadow. The background is solid, vivid pink.
