The image shows a nude human figure in a seated position, viewed from the side with a focus on the upper half and torso. The figure's head is slightly tilted forward, supported by one hand at the jaw. The facial features are minimally suggested, and the hair is drawn away from the face. The sketch is monochrome, using shades of grey pencil on a light background. In the background, there are faint outlines hinting at partial furniture and another indistinct figure to the left.
