The etching depicts a person in half-length side profile, seated with their body slightly turned away. The person has a curly hairstyle framing their face, a defined nose, and a slightly visible mouth. They wear a loose garment with billowy sleeves. Near their knee is a rectangular case or book. The background is simple. In the lower right side, there is a signature that reads "Whistler" and the date "1859."
