A vertically oriented photogravure in warm brown tones depicts a girl from San Ildefonso Pueblo from the chest up with medium skin tone, facing us. She balances a large ceramic jar on her head, decorated with dark, undulating, cross-hatched designs. She has thick bangs reaching her eyes and a neutral expression. She wears multiple beaded necklaces over a dark garment draped over her shoulder against a soft, mottled brown background.
