The image is a line drawing showing the upper body of a person from the side, with their left arm crossed over their chest. The person's face is in profile, with subtle lines for the eyes, nose, and mouth, and their hair is styled back. Beside them, there is a large head sculpture with detailed facial features and hair, occupying a significant portion of the image. In the foreground, there is a table with a draped cloth and a small bowl. The background is minimal, consisting of lines suggesting a room or setting without details.
