A vertically oriented etching depicts a woman with light skin tone in profile facing left. A massive hat of dense, dark hatching shades her face and the upper background. Fine, streaking lines highlight her sharp features and extend toward the bottom left. Below her chin, loose strokes suggest a ruffled white collar. The print includes handwritten signatures on the right and in the bottom margin.
