The image shows a full-body drawing of a person seated with their legs crossed. The individual is facing slightly to the left, with their hands resting in their lap. Their facial features are sketched with a serious expression, with prominent lines defining the eyes, nose, and mouth; the hair is dark and reaches just past the jawline. They are wearing a dark jacket over a lighter top, a knee-length pleated skirt, and light-colored shoes. There is no visible jewelry. The background consists of a shaded area with what appears to be a shelf or piece of furniture to the person's right, holding items that might be a basket or container with a cloth draped partially over it, featuring circular patterns. The overall tone of the image is monochromatic with a focus on grey and blue hues.
