A roughly rectangular photogravure in warm brown tones depicts a woman with medium-dark skin facing forward. Her gaze is steady with dark eyes and a closed mouth. She is enveloped in a thick, woven cedar-bark blanket covering her head and shoulders, featuring a repetitive grid-like texture and a soft, light-colored lining. Small text along the bottom margin identifies the subject as a Nootka woman wearing a cedar-bark blanket.
