The image shows the upper body of a person in a side profile, seated and slightly bent forward. One arm is resting on their knee, and the other arm is draped across their head. The facial features are minimalistic, with an outline of the profile, a single line for the nose, and no detailed depiction of the eyes or mouth. The hair is drawn back in a simple bun. The person appears nude, with shading and line work suggesting the body's contours. There is no visible jewelry or objects. The background is plain, highlighting the figure's form against the light shading of the paper. A stamp in the lower left corner reads "ARCHIVAL MATERIAL."
