The image features a sketch of a person, showing the entire seated body from the knees up. The person is seated in a three-quarter view with their head tilted slightly to one side, resting their chin on one hand in a contemplative pose. The facial features are not detailed, and the hair is suggested with a simple outline. They appear to be wearing a loose garment with minimal details. The lines are stark, capturing the folds of the clothing loosely. There is no jewelry or objects being held. The background consists of a few simple lines suggesting the edge of a surface or room corner, with an overall plain and neutral appearance. There is a circular stamp marked "ARCHIVAL MATIERIAL" near the figure's leg.
