The image depicts a drawing of a seated woman in profile. She is leaning forward with her arms resting on her knees, and her head slightly bowed. She has curly hair tied back and wears a long, flowing dress with puffed sleeves. The woman is sitting on a pedestal-like structure, with a solid blue background. Sketch lines are visible suggesting unfinished elements in the background.
