Her dark hair is pulled back into a low bun, with a few loose strands framing her face. She wears a large bow at her chest and earrings. Her dress has a low neckline, puffy sleeves, and a full skirt. The woman sits with her arms resting on her thighs. Her right leg is crossed over her left. The background of the sketch features shading from dark brown to light brown.
