A vertically oriented pencil drawing on off-white paper depicts a woman standing, turned slightly toward our right. She wears a large hood draped over her shoulders and a long, dark coat. Her left arm is bent at her waist, and her right arm hangs down. Soft shading and hatching define her form against the plain paper background. A faint signature is visible in the bottom right corner.
