The image features a woman from the waist up, holding a piece of white cloth that covers part of her head and shoulders. She has a serene expression, dark hair, and is wearing draped white clothing. In her right hand, she holds the severed head of a bearded man with closed eyes. The background is abstract with dark and light sections and broad strokes of orange color in a cross-like pattern.
