A vertically oriented etching in black ink on cream paper depicts a child's profile facing left. Dense, overlapping sketchy lines define short hair, while sparse, fine lines outline a downward-gazing face, collar, and shoulders. The portrait sits centered within a rectangular plate mark, leaving the background blank. In the lower-left corner, handwritten numbers "24/50" mark the piece, emphasizing the composition's reliance on the paper's negative space.
