The sketch features a person seated on a chair in a side profile view. The drawing shows the individual's full torso, arms, and legs, with the head slightly turned to the right. The facial features are minimal, including a gently sloping nose and basic jawline. The person has medium-length hair falling neatly around the face. They are depicted wearing loose-fitting clothes, including a top with an open collar and long sleeves, paired with a long skirt or similar garment. A simple necklace with a round pendant is visible around the neck. The background is plain, drawing focus to the figure. In the bottom right corner, a circular red stamp reads "ARCHIVAL MATERIAL."
