The sketch shows a woman standing in a three-quarter position. Her facial features are delicately drawn with a calm expression. She has wavy hair that falls past her shoulders. She is wearing a long dress with a fitted bodice, full sleeves, and a flowing skirt that reaches the floor. The background is plain. There are no visible accessories or objects in the scene.
