Pen, ink and wash drawing of a standing woman, with drapery over the left shoulder, which she holds with her right hand. She is looking down over her bare right shoulder. Lit from the top right of the composition, there is strong shadow over the right side of her face. A dark line around the top half of the composition suggests a frame or border, while the bottom edge is left bare and less finished.
