The image shows a full view of a person's body from the seated position. The figure's body is drawn with bold, black lines and is sitting on a stool or chair, with legs apart and one hand resting on the thigh, holding a piece of clothing or fabric. The person's face lacks detailed features and is not distinctly outlined, making it featureless, while the hair is suggested with minimal lines at the edge of the head. The figure is otherwise unclothed except for the fabric they are interacting with. The background is plain and unadorned, focusing attention entirely on the figure without any additional context or scenery. There is an ink stamp in the upper left corner of the image.
