The image shows a portrait of a woman's upper torso. The woman's head and shoulders are visible, with her body positioned at an angle, facing left but with her head turned slightly towards the viewer. The woman has delicate facial features and large, expressive eyes. She has dark, slightly wavy hair styled up and away from her face. She is wearing a garment with layers of light and dark fabrics, possibly featuring lace or embroidery along the neckline. The portrait is executed in a soft, textured style typical of pastel drawings. She is wearing small, dark earrings. The background is plain with no distinct shapes or objects. The artist's signature and "1892" are visible on the right side of the drawing.
