The image is an etching depicting a head-and-shoulders portrait of a person facing forward. The facial features are emphasized with deep dark lines, including the eyes, nose, and mouth. The hair is full and somewhat messy, falling in wavy strands around the face. The person is dressed in textured clothing, possibly a light garment, created with cross-hatching techniques. There are no visible jewelry or objects. The background is textured and shaded to add depth to the portrait.
