The image is a black and white portrait of a young woman. She is standing in front of a dark background and is facing the camera with a serious expression on her face. The woman is wearing a long, flowing dress with a high neckline and long sleeves. She has curly hair that is styled in loose curls and is holding a black shawl over her shoulders. The dress appears to be made of a light-colored fabric with a ruffled collar and cuffs. The overall mood of the image is somber and contemplative.
