The image displays a relief sculpture or painting of a woman's bust in profile, featuring her head and shoulders. The woman faces to the right in a side profile position, showcasing her reddish-brown hair styled in an elaborate updo. Her facial features include a prominent nose, hint of cheekbones, and partially visible lips. She is depicted wearing a dark green garment, possibly a jacket, and a high-collared blouse with ruffled details. The relief is set within a textured and weathered wooden panel with a wooden border, against a plain and light-colored background. There are no visible jewelry or objects, and the surroundings are simple without additional adornments.
