A vertically oriented photogravure in sepia tones depicts an older Washo woman with a medium skin tone from the shoulders up. Facing toward our right, she has deeply lined skin, eyes looking downward, and her mouth set in a horizontal line. Her straight hair is shoulder-length with bangs. She wears a dark, textured blanket. The soft focus blurs her features into the light background.
