The image shows a sketch of a full human figure depicted in an expressive black ink style. The person is seen from behind, kneeling on the ground with one leg bent under them. Their head is turned slightly to the side with indistinct facial features. The person's short, voluminous hair adds to the dynamic motion of the ink strokes. The unclothed body is depicted with fluid lines suggesting movement and form. No jewelry or objects are visible. The plain background allows the bold ink work to stand out, with a red stamp in the bottom corner reading "ARCHIVIAL MATERIAL RD."
