This painting is a lithograph on chine collé, featuring a woman's profile. The woman is wearing a head covering that drapes over her shoulders, with a small section of her hair visible at the back of her head. The background is dark, with the woman's face and clothing rendered in lighter tones. The woman's face is turned to the left, and her features are somewhat indistinct. The overall effect is one of mystery and quiet contemplation. If you're interested in learning more about this style of art, you might want to look up the movement "Impressionism".
