A sepia-toned photogravure depicts a woman standing centered against a textured, cracked wall. She has brown skin and looks directly at us while balancing a patterned ceramic vessel on her head. She wears a plaid shirt under a dark, sleeveless tunic. Numerous beaded necklaces and a large pendant adorn her chest, while bracelets and rings decorate her hands. Light from our left casts a shadow on the wall to our right.
