Printed postcard featuring a studio portrait of an elaborately tattooed woman shown from behind in an oval vignette, with a large script caption reading “Sweetly Yours Astoria.” The reverse is a Cyrillic-printed postcard back, including “ОТКРЫТОЕ ПИСЬМО.” and a stamp box labeled “Мѣсто для марки.”


The subject is posed with her head turned in profile, hair styled in waves with decorative hairpins. Her shoulders and upper back are densely tattooed, and a large fan-shaped motif dominates the center of the back, framed by additional floral and patterned designs that extend across both arms. A pearl necklace circles the neck, and the upper edge of a dark strapless garment is visible at the lower part of the oval frame. The oval vignette is set against a plain studio background, concentrating attention on the tattoo work and the profile silhouette. The handwritten caption “Sweetly Yours Astoria” is applied in bold, sweeping script across the lower right, overlapping the oval border. On the reverse, the card is formatted with multiple address lines and the Cyrillic headings and stamp-box text, and there is a small pencil notation “DAEFZ 99.” near the lower edge.


The front bears the printed text: Sweetly Yours; Astoria. The reverse reads: ОТКРЫТОЕ ПИСЬМО.; Мѣсто; для; марки..
