A half-length portrait of a young singer in traditional national costume and a taqiya headdress adorned with feathers and pendants.

The background features several decorative elements with stylized patterns alongside a dark blue circular form. The painting is executed in a realistic manner, with meticulous ethnographic detail in the costume and jewelry. At the lower right - signature and date.
