The image is a profile view of a woman's upper body, from the shoulders up. She is facing to the right within a circular frame. Her features include a straight nose, tightly curled hair, and an ornate headpiece. She is wearing a garment with a light scarf draped over her shoulders and dangling earrings. The background is a simple, dark, circular space; there is a signature and inscription below the circle.
