The image depicts a sketch of a person's upper body and head, positioned on their side with their head resting on one arm, which is extended outward. The face is turned slightly towards the viewer, with delicate features sketched in detail, and the hair appears to be held back by a cloth. The other arm is partially visible, resting on the same surface as the head. The clothing suggested by the sketch is loose and flowing, with minimal detail. The background is plain and unadorned, emphasizing the subject of the drawing.
