The individual's head is slightly turned to the side, providing a profile view of the face. The person has short, straight hair and appears unclothed, with detailed anatomical features. The background is plain and neutral, emphasizing the subject. The artwork is done in pencil or charcoal on paper, with some minor imperfections visible.
