The image shows a person standing upright in a full-body side profile. The person's head is slightly turned to the front, displaying their facial features. The drawing outlines a strong nose, a prominent brow, and a focused expression. The person has short hair or is possibly bald, mostly covered by a garment. They are draped in a large, cloak-like garment enveloping most of their body. The clothing has soft, flowing lines and reaches down to cover their feet, which are in simple footwear. No jewelry is visible, and the person is not holding any objects. The background is plain and white or light in color, emphasizing the subject of the drawing.
