The image depicts a seated figure with one arm resting on the backrest of a chair and the other arm bent, possibly resting on their knee. The figure's head is slightly tilted downwards with undefined facial features. The hair is loosely suggested with dark strokes, appearing short or pulled back. The figure is drawn with broad, gestural strokes of ink. There is no depiction of jewelry or objects being held, and the background is plain. An archival material stamp is visible in the lower left corner.
