The image shows a sketch of a person seated on a chair. The individual is in a profile position, leaning slightly forward, with one leg crossed over the other. Their head is lowered, focusing on an object they are holding in both hands close to their face. The facial features are lightly sketched, showing a profile with a slightly smiling expression, and the person has long, dark hair. The sketch shows the individual without any clothing. There are no visible pieces of jewelry on the person, but they appear to be holding something small and cylindrical. The background is simple and unadorned, featuring mostly empty space. The artwork is marked with a red circular stamp bearing the text "ARCHIVE DE ROSAAT."
