The image is a sketch of a person in a kneeling position. The person's upper body is turned slightly to one side, with one hand resting on their knee and the other hand on the ground for support. The drawing outlines basic contours of the body without detailed facial features. The head is turned away, and the hair is outlined and gathered at the back. The person is not wearing any clothing. The sketch focuses on the natural lines and curves of the form. There are no visible pieces of jewelry or objects being held. The background is plain, with a red archival stamp present on the upper right corner.
