The image displays a side profile of a young person from the head to just below the shoulders. The person is facing the right side of the image, featuring a rounded face and a small, slightly upturned nose. Their hair is short and wavy, styled in soft curls. They wear a dress with a pleated, square neckline, wide shoulder straps, and a sash tied into a bow at the chest. A beaded necklace adorns their neck. The background is plain with a circular border, giving the image a classic portrait appearance.
