The image is an etching of a woman's head and neck in profile. The woman's head is shown with her neck and shoulders slightly visible, positioned upright and turned to the side. Her facial features are delicately drawn with a noticeable nose, closed lips, and a gentle brow. Her hair is styled in intricate curls around the face, gathered into a large bun at the back with a spiral design. She wears teardrop-shaped earrings and a draped garment near the neckline. The background is filled with diagonal lines, contrasting with the lighter page.
