The image shows a person standing, facing slightly to the right. The person is holding a pink rose in their right hand. Their facial features include a prominent nose and a small, slightly pointed chin, with a softly rounded face. The hair is styled in waves typical of an 18th-century style. The person is dressed in an elaborate gown with a voluminous skirt and colorful floral pattern. The sleeves have lace trimming at the cuffs. There are floral patterns drawn on one side of the figure. The background is plain. The sketch is signed "William Odyk" in the bottom right corner.
