The image shows an upper body view of a person from the waist up, positioned in profile, slightly bent forward with their head tilted downward, focusing on something in their hands. The person's hair is long and dense, covering much of the face and cascading down to their shoulders. The facial features are not clearly visible due to the angle and shadow cast by the hair. The person is dressed in a close-fitting garment made of a heavy material and adorned with strands of jewelry draping around the neck and one shoulder. They are holding a coiled object in one hand. The background consists of horizontal lines and patterns, giving a sense of motion. The artwork is monochromatic with a signature "Carl Oscar Borg" in the bottom right corner.
