Abstract acrylic portrait of a woman from Upper Egypt. Her eyes are closed and there is a serene, serious look on her face. Some wisps of her wavy dark hair are shown. She is wearing a black head covering and black abaya, and has large, noticeable golden jewelry, specifically a pair of large pair of hoop earrings and several sizeable necklaces. Her right hand is touching the round pendant of one of the necklaces. The style of the painting is reminiscient of cubism.
