A vertical oval etching in black ink depicts a youth with light skin tone, chest up, turned slightly toward our left. They wear an ornate turban topped with a feather and draped with cascading pearl strands. Shaded with fine cross-hatched lines, they have wavy, shoulder-length hair and a thick pearl necklace. A dark, textured garment covers their shoulders, while delicate hatching defines their calm expression and features.
