Printed with black ink against eggshell-white paper, the head and neck of a person facing our right in profile fills this vertical woodcut. The person has closely-cropped black hair, a thin neck, and high cheekbones. The eye we can see under an arched brow seems to look straight ahead, and the person has a straight nose, and the lips are closed. The texture and woodgrain of the woodblock surface is visible in the black, printed areas. The artist signed and dated the lower right corner, under the printed image, in graphite: "W. DREWES 1930." A graphite inscription in the lower left reads, "N. 7 1-XXX HARLEM BEAUTY."
