A vertically oriented, black-and-white photogravure depicts Ziletta from the chest up, a woman with light skin tone turned slightly to our right. She looks out at us with dark eyes and closed lips. A patterned, light-colored headscarf covers her hair, and she wears large hoop earrings. She wears a dark, pleated garment against a dark background. Strong contrast illuminates the right side of her face, leaving the rest in soft shadow.
