This image depicts a bust-length view of a young woman, shown from the shoulders up. Her head is slightly turned to her left, showing a three-quarter profile. The woman's facial features include large eyes gazing forward, a straight nose, full lips, and a soft expression. Her hair is wavy and parted in the middle, cascading down both sides of her face, and appears to be a rich brown shade. The clothing is subtly suggested around her shoulders, blending into the background. There are no visible pieces of jewelry or objects being held by her. The background is plain and unadorned, emphasizing the contours and features of her face. The image is rendered in sepia tones.
