The image is a black and white drawing of a human figure shown from head to lower legs. The figure is depicted from the back in a standing pose, with one arm raised over the head and the other arm obscured. The legs are crossed at the knees, giving the body a slanted posture. The facial features are not detailed, and the hair is represented with a minimalistic outline as part of the head's silhouette. The figure is nude, with no clothing or accessories, and appears to be shaded using a combination of soft, broad brushstrokes and darker, more defined lines. The background is plain white with some light splatters of black around the figure.
