A vertically oriented portrait on a grey zinc plate depicts a woman with light skin tone from the chest up, facing right with downcast eyes. Dense diagonal scratches score the metal surface, obscuring her dark hair and low-cut garment. Delicate floral patterns adorn vertical panels in the background. High contrast defines the image, with bright highlights on her face and chest set against deep shadows created by dense black lines and frenetic hatching.
