The image is an etching depicting a full-length view of a person shown from the back. The person stands slightly turned to the left, facing a wall with a detailed column. They have short hair with a wavy texture, and their facial features are subtle, viewed in profile from behind. The person is draped in long, flowing robes, with the fabric gathered around the waist and shoulders, showing folds and texture. They hold a tall cross in their right hand. The background features vertical lines that suggest a wall or drapery, with a detailed architectural element, possibly a column.
