The back view of a person is shown from just below the head to the feet. The individual is seated with their left knee bent and resting on an unseen surface, while the right leg appears to be hanging down. The person's head is facing slightly to the left, with simple, minimal lines indicating the outline of the head and short hair. The individual is unclothed, rendered in rough, expressive lines and shading. There are no visible accessories. The background is plain, with no additional details. A stamp marked "ARCHIVAL MATERIAL" is in the bottom left corner of the paper.
