The image shows the back of a figure seated on a chair, with only their upper body visible. The individual is in a relaxed position, with their limbs arranged casually. Their facial features are obscured, with hair styled in a neat bun or updo. The person is wearing voluminous clothing, possibly patterned, covering their torso. They are surrounded by soft, draped fabric, likely curtains. The person holds a paper or book in one hand. The background consists of lightly sketched vertical lines, with abstract decorative elements in blue and mustard yellow. A signature is visible at the lower right corner of the image.
