The image shows a sketch of a person in an abstract and expressive style. The sketch depicts the torso and head of the person, who appears to be in a seated or leaning back position. One arm may be raised behind the head. The facial features are depicted with broad strokes, approximating the placement of eyes and mouth. The hair is represented with loose, flowing lines suggesting medium to long length. The body is illustrated with energetic strokes conveying form and movement. There is an earring on one ear. The background is plain and white, emphasizing the dynamic black ink lines of the drawing.
