The image displays a sketch of a person's upper body and legs. The person is seated with one knee raised, one arm wrapped around the knee, and a slight lean backward. The sketch shows facial features in profile, including eyes, a nose, and a pensive expression, along with short, stylized hair. The clothing is minimalist, indicated by simple lines around the arms and shoulders. The background is plain with a red stamp saying "ARCHIVES R.D. MATISSE" on the top of the paper. The sketch emphasizes contour and outline.
