A woman's profile emerges from a luminous gold ground, her face rendered in pale, sculptural tones while golden tears stream down her cheek, pooling into ornamental patterns. Her wavy auburn hair flows into decorative swirls of brown and ochre, creating a seamless merge between figure and ornamental backdrop that evokes both melancholy and opulence.

Notes and sketches kept behind an independent artist's work, not a plain composition cover.
