The image depicts a nude person from the waist up, reclining on one arm with the other arm bent and hand near the forehead. The person has softly outlined eyes, a contemplative expression, and wavy hair. The lower body is covered by suggested folds of a bed or sheet. There is no clothing or jewelry. The background is plain, and the artist's signature "A. Lhote" and edition number "39/100" are visible in the lower left corner.
