The image shows a head-and-shoulders portrait of a woman in profile facing to the left. Her facial features are clearly depicted, with a slightly pointed nose and a prominent chin. She has curly, voluminous hair styled in a way that covers her ears and falls down to her neck. She is wearing a ruffled, high-collared garment with lace or frilled embellishments around the neckline. An earring is visible, and a small chain or necklace is faintly seen around her neck. The background is a plain, dark circular area. Handwritten text is present at the lower part of the image.
