The image is a black and white artwork depicting a person in a sitting position. The person is shown from the waist up, angled toward the left, with legs partially visible. The stylized face looks forward with short, combed-back hair. The individual wears a dark outfit without much detail. To the right, the arm rests on a surface with sketched circular shapes. Abstract patterns and lines fill the background, with a rectangular pattern on the wall. The floor is patterned, and the wall behind has bold lines.
