The image shows a profile view of a person's head and a portion of the upper shoulders. The person is positioned in profile facing to the right. Their facial features appear delicately rendered with smooth lines, a straight nose, and a composed expression. The hair is dark and curly, peeking from beneath a large, wrapped headscarf adorned with folds and rosettes. The clothing consists of a voluminous garment draped across the shoulders and covering part of the neck. No jewelry is visible, and the person is not holding any objects. The background is a circular area rendered in a dark tone, contrasting with the lighter figure. The artwork is enclosed in an oval frame on a textured paper, with some text printed beneath it.
