The image shows a sketch of a male figure from the upper body down to the mid-thighs. The man is lying on his side, propped up on his left arm with his head resting on his hand. His facial features are suggested with light strokes, giving him a defined jawline and short hair. He is shirtless and the lines and shading indicate the contours of his body. There is no additional clothing or jewelry visible, and he is not holding any objects. The background is plain and unadorned, focusing attention on the subject. The overall composition has a loose, impressionistic feel, emphasizing the man's pose and form.
