The image features a sketch of three faces shown in close-up from the neck upwards. The leftmost face is oriented slightly towards the viewer with a direct gaze, the central face looks downward with closed eyes, and the rightmost face is in profile with an upward tilt. All three faces have sculptural, classical features with prominent eyelids, smooth contours, and slightly parted lips. The hair is styled with soft curls. The medium used is red chalk on paper, giving the artwork a warm, monochromatic tone. There are no visible clothing or jewelry. The background of the sketch is simple and unadorned.
