The image shows a drawing of a person seated, with only the upper portion of their body visible. The angle of the drawing suggests the person is sitting in a slightly reclined position, with their left arm resting on a flat surface, while their right arm dangles downwards. The facial features are not detailed, as the drawing mostly outlines the shape of the head and neck without specific details such as facial expressions. The hair is not depicted. The person appears to be wearing a sleeveless top or dress, indicated by the sleeveless outline of the garment across the shoulders. The clothing lacks detailed textures and appears plain. No jewelry or objects are visible in the image. The background is plain and devoid of any other elements. There is a red stamp in the center of the chest area of the drawing that reads "R.D. ARCHIVES AUSTRALIAN."
