The image is an etching of a woman standing upright. She is turned slightly to the side with her hands clasped in front of her. The woman has softly rendered facial features and styled hair, partially covered with a cap or bonnet. She wears a long skirt, a dark jacket, and a light-colored scarf around her neck. There is no visible jewelry or objects in her hands. The background is a plain surface that emphasizes the figure.
