The image shows a drawing of an upper body profile facing left. The person's head is slightly turned with distinct features. The hair is short and dark with a hint of curls. Dark shading on the shoulder and upper chest suggests clothing. In the background, rough lines create a textured surface contrasting with the lighter space around the person. In the bottom left corner, there is a circular stamp that reads "ARCHIVES MATERIAUX."
