The drawing shows a lightly sketched figure in a sideways view. The person is depicted with a raised left arm holding a round object, and a right arm clutching elongated objects. The facial features are not detailed, and the hair is styled in a loose bun. The clothing is suggested by flowing lines around the lower body, implying drapery or a robe. The background is a plain sheet of paper with visible texture and some minor spots or stains.
