The image depicts a sketch of a woman from the waist up, in profile view. She is seated, facing towards the right of the image, with her head slightly turned towards the viewer. She has softly articulated facial features and curly hair framing her face. The woman is wearing a draped garment with gentle folds, and a bracelet on her wrist. The background shows a window with floral designs and a curtain with floral patterns, suggesting an indoor setting with natural elements.
