It is primarily white with a textured pattern and some darker spots. The drawing depicts a person with long hair wearing a hat or crown. They have a circle around their head. The person is wearing a long robe with a sash around the waist. They appear to be holding something. There are decorative elements around them, including what appear to be plants. The background behind the fabric is solid grey.
