The image is an artistic engraving of a woman's bust in profile view, facing right. She is posed upright, with her shoulders slightly angled and her head turned to the side. The engraving shows her from the upper chest up, featuring delicate facial features and intricate hair styled with braids or curls cascading down the back. She wears attire with a ruffled collar. The ornate circular frame surrounding her is adorned with floral details and swirls, seemingly resting on a bed of clouds. The background is plain and light-toned, with no additional elements outside the frame. Small amounts of text beneath the image indicate the authorship and date.
