The image shows a sketch of a woman reclining on a couch or bed. She is portrayed from her upper body down to her knees, with one arm propping her up slightly and the other resting on her hip. Her face is shown at a slight angle, with long hair flowing over her shoulders. She appears to be wearing a loose-fitting dress. Two cushions support her back, and there is a window or picture frame behind her. The setting is depicted with minimal background details to suggest an indoor space.
