The image is a sketch showing a partial view of a person's upper body. The person is seated at what appears to be a table, holding an object in their hands, and is positioned facing the viewer. The facial features and hair of the person are roughly outlined, with little detail. The individual is wearing an indiscernible garment. Surrounding the person, there is a sketched background featuring abstract, incomplete shapes that could be elements of a room. The scene is set within a domestic interior, suggested by the presence of furniture-like forms. The sketch is primarily composed of loose pencil strokes on a plain background, with the artist's signature, "Alberto Giacometti," and the year "1954" noted at the bottom right corner.
