The print shows a close-up view of a woman's face and part of her hand. Her face is turned towards the right, and her hand is near her mouth, with her fingers curled against her lips. She is looking at us out of the corner of her eyes. The woman's facial features include large, wide eyes with visible tears, arched black eyebrows, long lashes, and glossy red lips. The skin of her face is colored using tiny red dots on a white background, giving the overall appearance of pink skin. Her hair is depicted in yellow with some thick black streaks. She wears a large, round, white earring, and the red and white collars of what look like a shirt and a jacket are partially visible in the lower-left corner of the print.
