The image shows a sketch of a seated figure from just above the knees to the top of the head. One leg is crossed over the other, and one arm rests on the knee of the crossed leg. The head is slightly tilted forward and to the side, with facial features blending into shadows. The hair is depicted as short and close to the scalp. The sketch focuses on the body's form with simple lines and shading, without defining clothing or showing any jewelry or objects. The background is blank.
