A vertically oriented sepia photogravure depicts a person with medium skin tone, their head turned toward our right. Their hair is parted centrally and styled into two large, vertical whorls on either side. Strands of beaded necklaces rest at the neck above a thick, woven blanket with thin light stripes draped over the shoulders. The person's downward gaze and closed lips create a contemplative expression, with soft highlights accentuating texture against a light background.
