Her facial features include a nose, lips, and a soft expression. Her hair is styled in an updo with wavy lines suggesting texture and volume. The woman is wearing a garment with a high collar, lightly sketched, with a hint of a necklace or brooch. The background of the sketch is plain. The sketch is on textured paper, with the name "FIDÈS DEVRIES" printed below the image.
