A vertically oriented drawing in black and red chalk depicts a young woman from the shoulders up, facing our left. Thin, streaking lines outline her features, with red chalk cross-hatched to shade her cheeks and neck. Her wavy hair is pulled back with a red ribbon in swirling patterns. She looks away with large eyes and parted lips, wearing a pale V-neck garment against a tan background with an inscription.
