This is a charcoal sketch of a young girl's portrait. The sketch is done in shades of grey and black on a white or off-white textured paper. The girl is facing the viewer with a direct gaze. Her hair is dark and appears to be pulled back, with some wisps falling around her face and forehead. Her eyes are dark and expressive, with visible eyelids and eyebrows. Her nose is relatively small and her lips are slightly parted, revealing a hint of her inner mouth. She has a somewhat serious or perhaps contemplative expression.

The composition is a bust shot, with the girl's head and shoulders filling most of the frame. The focus is squarely on her face, and the sketch captures a sense of her personality and youth. The overall tone of the artwork is somewhat raw and immediate due to the charcoal medium and visible sketch lines, yet it conveys a strong emotional presence.

The background is largely empty, emphasising the subject. There are some faint lines and smudges in the background that suggest the edges of the drawing or the paper's texture.
