The image is an engraving showing a portrait of a person from mid-torso up. The subject has delicate facial features, with a petite nose and softly rounded cheeks, and they are gazing directly at the viewer. The hair is styled neatly under a headpiece adorned with woven designs. The person is wearing an ornate garment with patterns and embroidery, a choker-style necklace, and a pendant. The background is textured, and below the portrait is a label with the inscription "IANA GRAYA" and additional text. The engraving is on beige paper with a border.
