The image shows the upper half of a young girl in profile. She is positioned slightly turned to the left, with her gaze directed away from the viewer. Her facial features include a smooth, pale complexion, delicate eyebrows, and softly parted lips. Her dark hair is neatly styled, pulled back away from her face. She is wearing a muted, dark-colored garment, possibly a shawl or coat, which is draped over her shoulders. The background features a textured, dark, bluish hue. The portrait is encased in an oval frame with a bronze tone, which has a decorative element at the top featuring a small loop and a simple design.
