The image is a charcoal drawing of a person in a seated pose from the thighs upwards. The individual is sitting with their upper body leaning forward, resting one elbow on a raised knee while the other hand lightly touches the forehead. The facial features are sketched minimally, primarily outlining the face and suggesting short hair. The focus is on the contours and form of the torso and limbs. The background is plain with no additional objects, highlighting the figure. The paper has a circular stamp reading "ARCHIVES D'ARTISTES R-D."
