The image shows an upper body portrait of a person drawn in a sketch style on light brown paper. The person's head is tilted slightly to one side, with soft facial features and elongated, curly hair. They wear a loose garment with a decorative collar, indicated by patterned lines around the neckline. A circular shape surrounds the head, resembling a halo. The sketch is primarily rendered in pencil with flowing lines, and the date "1915" is written in the lower right corner. The background is minimal.
