The image depicts a portrait of a woman shown from the shoulders up, captured in profile facing to the right. She has a distinctive facial profile with a prominent nose and is wearing a bonnet tightly tied under her chin. The bonnet frames her face with lace. She is dressed in clothing typical of an earlier era, featuring a high-necked outer garment with visible folds and layers adding texture in the drawing. The background is a solid, dark circular area creating contrast with her light-colored attire and bonnet. The bottom of the image includes the handwritten signature "Mrs. Levy" on a strip below the portrait.
