The image shows a profile view of a person depicted from the chest up. The individual is seated or appears to be in a relaxed position, with their face turned to the side and slightly upward. The face is characterized by simple lines, with a prominent nose and a gentle smile, and the eye is depicted as a horizontal line. The hair is styled with intricate swirls and curls, creating an elaborate texture that extends from the head. The person is wearing a garment that appears to be heavily adorned or textured with swirling patterns that complement the style of the hair. No jewelry or objects are visible on the person. The background is a solid, dark color that contrasts with the orange line work used to create the figure. The artwork is signed "Maryan 1967" in the bottom right corner.
