The drawing shows a figure sitting in a relaxed pose. The figure has one arm resting on a knee and the other arm supporting their head. The figure appears to be facing slightly to the side, with their head tilted and resting on their hand. The sketch depicts simplified facial features, short hair styled close to the head, and loose, gestural lines to suggest clothing, possibly a robe. There are no visible jewelry or held objects. The background is bare.
