The image depicts the upper body of a person from the shoulders up. The person is in a seated or slightly leaning forward position, with their head tilted to one side and directed downwards. Their facial expression is serene, with delicate features and high cheekbones. The hair is styled back, with a cloth or veil partially covering it. The person appears to be wearing a garment with draped fabric around the neck. The drawing is on a plain background, without visible objects or detailed scenery. There are no visible objects or jewelry on the figure.
