The image displays an upper bust of a person, from the chest upwards. The individual faces forward with their head slightly turned to one side. The person has long, dark hair, wide eyes, a straight nose, and a small, closed mouth. They wear a white headpiece or turban with a red band at the base and a decorative element on top. The clothing is light-colored. There are no visible jewelry or objects being held. The background is plain and unadorned, with a simple, light color highlighting the figure.
