The image shows a sketch of a person standing with their body visible from behind. The person is bending forward, with arms raised as if adjusting clothing. The facial features are not detailed due to the angle of the sketch, and the hair is indicated to be under a cloth or cap. They appear to be wearing a loose garment. There is a simple outline of furniture in the background. The sketch has a quick, unfinished quality.
