A portrait photograph showing a young woman (Dora Kalinówna). The photo is posed. The woman sits (on a bed?) against a wall decorated with patterned wallpaper. She is wearing a dark, shiny dress (silk?) with wide elbow-length sleeves. Light-coloured shirt sleeves and a collar are visible underneath the dress.

Her arms are raised and clasped over her head, which is slightly turned to the left and downward. She bears a worried or pensive expression. She has dark hair, styled in fashionable finger waves, popular during the twenty-year interwar period. Her bold makeup (dark lips and defined eye makeup) enhances her facial expression, a style often used by actresses in black-and-white films.
