The image shows a sketch of a woman's upper body in a side profile. She has closed eyes, a slightly arched eyebrow, and subtle lips. Her hair is styled upwards with volume and is adorned with a large decorative element. She is wearing a high-neck garment with a necklace or collar that has round embellishments. The sketch has a textured, pale background with dark warm-tone lines and shading, giving it an unfinished quality.
