A vertically oriented charcoal drawing depicts a woman with light skin tone from the chest up, facing us directly. Her wavy hair frames a face with large, pale eyes and small dangling earrings. Soft charcoal shading defines her features, while dense, vertical strokes shade the background behind her head. She wears a light-colored blouse with dark, dotted stitching along the collar. The signature "John S. Sargent" and date "1919" appear at the bottom.
