Beeldbeschrijving
This drawing shows a woman's upper body and head in profile, tilted back and turned towards the left. Her features include fair skin, high cheekbones, pale eyebrows, a pointed nose, and thin lips slightly open to reveal her teeth. Her dark, curly hair is styled back, partially covered by a white headpiece. She is wearing a light-colored garment with ruffles around the neckline. The background is a solid gray-brown shade.
