A vertically oriented print on tan paper features four sketches in reddish-brown ink. In the upper left, a woman looks down with closed eyes. Beside her, she gazes toward us. Below, two larger renderings show her leaning on her crossed arms, facing right in profile. Delicate, fluid lines define her swept-up hair and elegant features. A cursive signature is inscribed in the lower right corner.
