The body is represented with bold green strokes outlined in black on an orange-red textured background. The background has splatters hinting at movement and depth. There is no distinct representation of jewelry or objects. The composition is colorful and dynamic with spontaneous brushstrokes on a rough background, with the artist's signature at the bottom right.
