DescriptionThe image is a head portrait of a female figure facing the right edge of the support with the face in complete profile; the figure has deep set eyes, a straight nose, large accentuated lips, and a deep crease that outlines the cheek from nose to ear. The figure wears a close cap-like head covering with a knot or roll at the back. The background is primarily negative space except for the upper left corner which is black.
