A Cubist-style print of a woman’s face; black, red, blue, and yellow inks are used in the portrait.

The features are created with black contour lines and geometric shapes framed by slightly square hair indicated by outward sweeping lines on the left side. Two of the contour lines run down the middle, creating an illusion of two faces in pressed up against each other which combine to make one face. The eyes and ears are different sizes and heights. There are filled-in shapes layered under the lines of the face in red along the left side of the forehead and neck, in yellow on the right side of the chin and neck, and in blue across the cheekbones.
