The image is a close up of a woman with long blonde hair that is pushed upwards and over to one side. She has blue eyes that have black eye-liner around them, and she is stood before a plain white background. She is wearing a black top and a necklace that comes down to just before the dropped collar of the top. In the bottom-left corner there is the colours: blue, white and red. It is in a design which suggests the sleeves may be a different to the black torso, but we can't see past her shoulder that makes up the bottom left corner.
