A vertically oriented photogravure in sepia tones depicts a woman with medium skin tone facing us, cropped to the chest. Her dark hair is parted in the middle. She wears a hooded parka with a thick fur ruff. A beaded nose ornament and two wide, four-stranded beaded ornaments hang from her lower lip. Tiered earrings and multiple beaded necklaces adorn her. She has a faint smile against a softly blurred background.
