The image depicts the upper part of a person's body, specifically the head and shoulders. The individual is in profile, facing to the right. The facial features are distinct and sharp, with a prominent nose and closed lips. The hair is styled in a large, elaborate way, possibly a turban or headscarf, adorned with decorative feathers or ornamental elements on top. The person wears a garment with a gentle fold around the neck and shoulders. There are no visible jewelry or objects held by the person. The background is plain, with minimal elements, and the artist’s inscription "CASTIGLIONE GENOVESE" is near the head.
