The image depicts a full-body etching of a woman standing with her hands on her hips, slightly turned to the left. She has softly defined facial features, long dark hair, and wears a dress with textured details. A large bow adorns her hair. The background is textured with sketch-like patterns. The artwork is monochromatic, in shades of dark gray and black.
