Line drawing of the head and shoulders of a woman in profile

Thin, faintly sketched lines with some darker accents depict the profile of a woman facing right and tilting her head back. She wears a gown with a low cut neck and ruffled shoulders, and wears her hair pulled back in a bun. Shading on the bridge of her nose indicates light shining on her from below. She squints and smiles slightly, wearing dark makeup on her lips and eyes. At upper right, a quickly drawn poster on a wall shows a man in a tailcoat and top hat, facing away from us and holding a conductor’s baton.
