The image is a line drawing showing a person in a seated position. The person has one knee raised, resting one elbow on the knee, and supporting their head with their hand. The head is slightly tilted, with facial features such as closed eyes, a nose, and a mustache visible. The hair is short and follows the curve of the head. The drawing outlines the body without clothing, using bold lines for definition. There are no visible jewelry pieces or objects being held. The background is plain with a "ARCHIVE MATERIAL" stamp in red at one side of the paper.
