The image is a head-and-shoulders portrait of a person, positioned facing the viewer. The person's features are depicted in a stylized, somewhat abstract manner, with a focus on the eyes, nose, and mouth. The details are subdued, giving the face a contemplative appearance with slightly downturned lips and a furrowed brow. The hair is dark and appears to be medium length. The person seems to be wearing a simple garment, though details of clothing are not evident due to the indistinct shading. There are no visible accessories or objects being held. The background is a textured, dark wash with little discernible detail, emphasizing the face. The bottom left corner contains the artist's signature, "Jerome Myers" and the date "1906."
