The image shows a detailed sketch of a person from the upper half of their body. The person is leaning slightly forward with one arm outstretched holding a small bouquet of flowers, and the other arm bent, resting on their head. Their facial features are softly outlined with visible eyes. The person has short, layered hair with a fringe across the forehead and is wearing a striped, long-sleeved top. In front of the person, there is a barbed wire line intersecting the image horizontally. The background is plain and unadorned, and there is an artist's signature and the year '53' inscribed at the bottom right corner of the image.
