The image is a detailed pencil drawing of a nude figure seated on a wooden chair. The upper body, torso, arms, and legs are visible, with one arm resting on the backrest and the other on the seat arm. The head is outside the frame. The figure's legs are crossed, with the right leg over the left. The background shows a geometric-patterned rug, a tiled floor, and a wooden beam-like structure on the right. No jewelry or objects are visible.
