The image shows an illustration of a woman's profile in a circular frame. She faces left, displaying a side view of her body. The drawing depicts her head, shoulders, and facial features, including a prominent nose and soft lips. She has full, voluminous curls, possibly pulled back into a ponytail. She wears a ruffled, lacy collar, long dangling earrings, and a necklace of round beads. The background is a simple dark circle, contrasting with the lightness of her clothing.
