Composition in black and white. Sinuous lines, predominantly vertical, quick strokes. On the left hand representation holding a cloth in the center of support, against plain background.

The cloth that hangs hand, opens down, like a cloak, giving idea of movement, and is represented by slightly sinuous lines vertically.
