The image is a portrait showing the upper part of a person's body, from the shoulders up to the head. The individual is facing the viewer directly, with their head slightly tilted to the side. The person's facial features are distinct, with deep-set eyes, a pointed nose, and a small, closed mouth. They have short hair partially covered by a textured cap. The individual wears an outfit with a fur-like texture along the shoulders and neckline, underneath which is a garment with a grid pattern and a visible button. In the background, there are parallel lines, giving it a textured appearance. The artist's name, Milton Avery, is in the upper right corner, along with the artwork's date in 1939. The bottom of the image includes the edition number, 72/100, and the artist's signature and date in script.
