The image shows a person from behind, revealing their entire body. The person is standing upright with their arms raised, holding their hair up. They have long red hair that they are styling or securing. The individual is wearing a long, dark blue dress with voluminous sleeves and a light-colored, fluffy collar. Around them, there is a sketched outline of a top hat and some bare outlines of furniture or drapery. The background is a light beige, featuring text in red and grayish tones about a lithography exhibition. The top left corner includes a small circular mark, and there is a faint stamp in the central upper region.
