A vertically oriented linocut print in black ink uses thick white lines to define a woman from the shoulders up. Facing slightly right, her wavy hair and facial features—including almond-shaped eyes with circular pupils—are rendered with fluid strokes. She wears a garment with rigid vertical stripes. Behind her, rhythmic, undulating lines and diamond-shaped accents create a decorative pattern. Small white characters are inscribed vertically in the bottom-left corner.
