Black and white sketch of a woman in a long dress standing next to a table with a globe on it. The woman has short hair and is wearing a long dress with puffy sleeves. She is holding an object in her left hand and reaching toward the globe with her right hand. The globe is positioned on a table covered with a cloth and there are other objects on the table. The background is dark and appears to have some texture, possibly a wall.
