The drawing
A delicately rendered bust-length portrait of a youthful figure facing slightly left, with large, contemplative eyes, long curling hair, and a wreath of leaves and flowers across the head. Fine lines define the hair and facial features against a dark background, while the shoulders and clothing remain lightly sketched.
