The image shows a sketch of a woman standing in full-body side profile, facing left. She has her arms bent at the elbows, hands resting together in front of her abdomen. Her hair is styled up in a bun with a bow or ribbon. Her facial features are delicately sketched, portraying a calm demeanor. She wears a long dress with full sleeves, a flowing skirt, and flat shoes. The woman appears to be holding a piece of fabric at her waist. The background is plain, emphasizing the figure on textured paper.
