This painting is a lithograph, a type of printmaking that uses stone or metal plates to create an image. The image is in black and white, with a woman's face as the main subject. She is shown in profile, with her head turned to the left. Her features are soft and dreamy, with a subtle smile on her lips. The background of the painting is a mix of light and dark shades, with some areas of texture that give the image depth. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation, as if the woman is lost in thought.
