A left-profile ink portrait of a young woman with one of the most distinctive hairstyles in the entire portrait series — a large spiral or pin-curl roll at the crown, described with three or four concentric circles building the coiled form above the short hair at the sides. Below the spiral roll the hair at the back and side is cut short, the back of the head visible as a smooth surface below the coil. The ear at the left shows a pendant earring — a mark at the lobe and a small pendant form below. The face in left profile is young and clean-featured: the brow, the nose, the lips in clean left-facing profile, the eye briefly indicated.
The spiral roll at the crown is the most precisely described hairstyle structure in the ink portrait series. The concentric circles — each one slightly smaller than the one outside it, the innermost concluding in a tight point — build the architectural form of the pin curl with care: this is a structure that was deliberately created, and the ink records its deliberateness. The portrait tradition's interest in the designed surface of the head reaches its extreme here: the spiral roll as pure craft, the face beneath it as the human content of an elaborate structure.
The pendant earring — described with a clean circular mark at the lobe and a small hanging element — adds a note of personal jewelry to the structural hair. Together, the spiral roll and the pendant earring give this young profile a quality of adorned presence: this person has prepared their appearance with care, and the portrait records that care with equal attention. Among the younger female profiles in the ink series (1494, 1503, 1508), this one is the most carefully styled, the hair as achievement rather than simply as characteristic.
