The sketch shows the upper body of a person seated on a chair with their back arched. The person is leaning to one side, with one arm on the back of their head and the other arm crossed over the chest. The face is undefined, and the hair is not visible. The clothing is ambiguous. The background is plain, emphasizing the person's form, posture, musculature, and the chair's structure.
