Her sleeves are rolled up to her elbows and she rests the guitar on her lap. In the background is a small vignette, done in bright blue tones that depict a man in a hood attacking another man. Below them is a large burning cross. There is a handwritten title below the image in pencil. It is signed by the artist on the bottom right. The back is blank.
