The image shows a portrait of a person's upper body in profile, facing left. The person has delicate facial features with a straight nose, full lips, and wide eyes. Their hair is short and curly with a wide headband. They wear a garment with a lace-trimmed collar and ruffled edges. In their hands, they hold two chains and a small, cloth-wrapped item. The background is a dark gradient.
