The image shows a woman in profile from the shoulders up. She is facing to the right, with her head turned slightly in that direction. Her facial features include a pronounced nose and lips, and she has curly hair styled up and adorned with a headband or ribbon. She is wearing a high-collared dress with a gathered or pleated design on the front. Around her neck is a simple strand of pearls. The background is a dark circular area that sharply contrasts with the lighter foreground. There is handwriting below the portrait.
