The image depicts a person from the waist up, seated and slightly turned to the right. The person's face is turned to the left side of the frame and features expressive eyes, an aquiline nose, and full lips. The person has curly hair cascading around their face and neck. They are wearing flowing robes, and their left arm with a hand visible extends towards the viewer. The background includes light sketching of foliage.
