The image shows a sketch of a person's head and part of the shoulders. The face is turned upwards in a slightly diagonal and upward-right angle, with expressive lines defining features such as brows and a nose. The person's hair is depicted as wavy and voluminous, flowing outward. Minimal lines suggest clothing over the shoulders. There are no visible jewelry or objects held. The background features a plain, textured surface with crosshatching and sweeping lines for depth.
