The image features an abstract, sketchy style depiction of a person's upper body. The person is shown with one hand against their cheek, with simple facial features, neutral expression, styled back hair, and wearing a garment with puffed shoulders and stripes. The plain canvas background has random paint splatters and smudges in various colors. Another faint abstract face outline is to the right of the main figure.
