The image depicts three sketched figures. In the upper portion, a nude person is shown in a dynamic pose with one leg forward and arms stretched outward. The figure is bald and facing left, surrounded by swirling fabric. Below, there are two full-body figures. One figure is viewed from behind, draped in layers of fabric, with hair in a bun. The other figure faces left, wearing a long garment that follows the body's line, with hair in an updo. The background is a light surface with pencil marks and annotations, indicating it is a sketch.
