A print portrait in black ink depicts a stylized figure in profile, facing our right. Bold, dark lines define heavy hair and thick facial features, including a large eye and slightly parted lips. A chain-like necklace wraps a long neck above a visible shoulder. Smeared, dark ink fills the background with a rough texture, contrasting with lighter face tones, set within wide, light-colored paper margins.
