Similar to WyC.01.291. The figure of a tall woman stands in the right foreground. She has been outlined in pencil, and her dress painted light yellow (with some white highlights, and shadows of grey). The woman's face, hands and feet have not been painted in.

The peak of the large mountain in the background is located directly above the woman's head. The mountain had shaded areas of medium blue and its sunlit slopes are tan (with white areas of snow). The sky is light blue. A light yellow cloud floats above the mountain's summit (the cloud dissipates as it extends towards the left side of the picture).Tom Link 1945/46 had the vision of her.
