There are two pencil sketches in the image. The first sketch shows the person's head from the back with an upside-down view, focusing on their hairstyle in an elegant bun. The second sketch, positioned below the first, presents a side profile of the person with soft and feminine facial features, including a slightly turned-up nose and closed lips. The hair is depicted in soft waves, tied back with a ribbon. The attire indicates a high-collared garment with ruffled or puffed shoulders, drawn in textured folds. The background is plain in both sketches.
