A vertically oriented oil painting features the head of the Listening Angel, a light-skinned figure, against a dark, muted background. The head tilts upward and left, revealing large eyes and a slightly open mouth. Brown hair is secured by a green band. A large, vertical patch of paint loss obscures the lower face and jaw, while fine, net-like cracks create texture across the entire surface.
