This print shows a close-up profile of a person's face, focused mainly on the area from their chin to their forehead. The person is facing the right with their head tilted back. Their facial features include closed eyes with long eyelashes, dark, arched eyebrows, a slightly upturned nose, and glossy red lips that are parted to reveal white teeth. Their skin is colored with tiny red and white dots, giving it the overall impression of being pink. The person has voluminous, wavy yellow hair that appears to blow across their face. There is also a section of blue in their hair, perhaps a highlight or perhaps a cloth garment or accessory. The background appears to show a railing on the side of a ship with a life preserver hanging on it. A distant white-and-blue landscape is partially visible. Parts of the print are colored in bold, thick sections, while others are filled in with small dots.
