The image depicts the stylized etching of a woman's upper body and face shown in two overlapping perspectives. On the left side, the woman's face and shoulders are seen frontally with shadows accentuating her features. She has short, dark hair and is wearing a high-collared garment with textured linework. The right side shows a continuation of the woman's torso, with her head slightly turned and a calm expression. Both sides feature detailed ruffled textures in her clothing. The background consists of swirling lines, adding a sense of movement, with no distinct scenery.
