This drawing depicts a woman in an elegant pose, with her right elbow on a surface and her hand supporting her cheek with fingers curled around her face as she looks to the left. She has pale skin, rosy cheeks, pink lips, and brown hair styled on top of her head. She is wearing an elegant outfit with a gray fur-like trim over a light-colored fabric, and she has a decorative bracelet on her wrist with several strands of pearls. The background is dark with hints of blue on the left, suggesting a sky behind some blurred trees.
