A vertical sepia-toned photogravure on beige paper depicts the head and shoulders of a person with a neutral expression, looking directly toward us. A voluminous, textured fur hood frames their face, with soft light highlighting facial contours and the thick ruff. The print features wide tan margins with printed text at the top and bottom. Deep shadows within the hood create a sense of depth around the dark, steady eyes.
