This print shows two representations of a woman's face and neck. The depiction on the left shows her looking forward, facing us, while the depiction on the right shows her turned to the right in three-quarter view. In both depictions, she has a neutral expression. The woman has dark skin, high cheekbones, straight eyebrows, and full lips. She has long black hair that appears to be in a half-up style, framing her face with tight curls. The background consists of irregular black and white shapes and patterns. The print is surrounded by a border of off-white paper.
