The image displays a sketch of a person's upper body, particularly focusing on the head and shoulders. The person is portrayed in profile, facing the right side of the image. The facial features include defined eyebrows, a straight nose, and a composed expression. The hairstyle is elaborate, with curls flowing upwards, indicating the presence of a hat or headpiece that is partially shown.
