The image is a pencil drawing of a person's head and neck in a side profile. The person has a distinctive elongated nose, angular jawline, prominent cheekbones, closed lips, and voluminous, wavy hair styled away from the face. They are wearing a high-collared garment. The background is plain with sketched lines for minimal framing, and there is handwritten text in the bottom right corner that reads, "'OH' For Olga & Joe Rivers, '73 xmas." The sheet has perforations along the top edge.
