The image shows a woman standing with her arms raised, potentially adjusting her hair. She has closed eyes and dark hair that she appears to be holding. The woman is nude, with a second figure seated to the right. The setting is depicted in earthy tones with textured lines, resembling a sketch or etching. The background consists of light and dark shades, with abstract forms hinting at a simplistic interior setting.
