A vertically oriented, sepia-toned photogravure depicts a Tewa girl with medium skin tone facing forward. Her dark hair is parted in the center and styled into two large, circular buns on either side of her head. She has dark eyes and a neutral expression. She wears multiple strands of light-colored beads and a dark, textured blanket draped across her chest, with a fringe on our left, leaving her right shoulder bare.
