This image is a monochromatic painting depicting a person seated with legs crossed at the ankle. The person is leaning slightly forward with arms held across their torso. The facial features are stylized, with a focus on the eyes and a neutral expression. The hair is dark and slightly wavy. The clothing is dark and includes a long-sleeved top and possibly a skirt or dress with indeterminate patterns. The person is holding an indistinct object in their lap. The background features a rough, shadow-like form around the person on a light-colored paper backdrop. There is a signature or artist's mark near the lower right corner of the paper.
