The image depicts a woman standing on the left side of the page. She is wearing a long, flowing garment that resembles a cloak. The woman has long dark hair and subtle facial features. The drawing includes a minimalist landscape with water, a distant landmass, and a cloudy sky. On the right side of the page is a handwritten poem in cursive script, written in French. The background of the image is a plain, light-colored paper.
