The image is a pencil drawing of the upper half of a woman's body from the shoulders up. The woman is facing forward with a slight turn to her right. Her facial features include arched eyebrows, prominent eyes, a delicate nose, and a subtle mouth. She has curly hair partially covered by a hat with a bow and feathers. She wears a high-necked dress with shading around the collar. An earring peeks out from under her hair. The background is a plain, light-colored surface. There are artist signatures or annotations near the lower part of the image.
