The image is a portrait showing the upper half of a woman's body. She is positioned in a side profile facing the left side of the image, with her head turned slightly towards the viewer. Her facial features are soft and her expression is neutral, with detailed eyes, a straight nose, and gently pursed lips. Her hair appears voluminous, styled in waves, and is adorned with a large, dark ribbon or bow at the back. She is dressed in clothing that features a high collar or scarf-like material around her neck, which contrasts with the darker fabric of the rest of her attire. There are no visible pieces of jewelry or objects held by the subject. The background is a simple, textured surface.
