The charcoal drawing depicts the upper half of a figure's body, extending to the knees. The figure is in a seated or kneeling position, with one hand on the hip and the other arm bent. The face lacks detail, shaded with no distinct features, and the hair is sketchily rendered. The figure is unclothed, emphasizing their form contoured with expressive lines and shading. There are no visible accessories or objects. The background is plain, with no defined elements against an off-white backdrop.
