A person's head in profile, light skin, white collar, against a dark background
An oil painting depicts a person's head and upper chest, rendered with visible, loose brushstrokes. The figure is positioned in profile, facing towards the left, with their head slightly tilted downwards. The background is a dark, indistinct brown and black, providing a strong contrast to the lighter tones of the figure. The skin of the face, neck, and forehead is rendered with a range of light beige, cream, and subtle pink hues, with darker shadows defining the contours of the nose, eye socket, and jawline. The hair, mostly obscured by shadow, appears dark brown or black, blending into the background. A prominent white collar, rendered with thick, impasto brushstrokes, is visible around the lower right side of the neck, contrasting sharply with the dark garment beneath it.
