The image shows a seated person in profile view, holding a circular object and poised as if to stir. They wear a fabric head wrap and glasses on their nose, and are dressed in a loose robe. The setting suggests an interior space with minimal furnishings, hinted at by soft lines indicating a wall or window with drapery in the background.
