The image shows a figure depicted from the back. The person is standing on one leg, with the other bent, while holding a mirror up to their face with their right hand. Their head is turned slightly to the right. The person is nude, with a fabric draped over their left arm and hanging down toward the ground. In the background, there is a mountainous landscape and rocky terrain. The foreground features a patterned ground surface.
