The image depicts a sketch of a person showing the upper half of their body. The person appears to be seated and is viewed from a slightly frontal angle. The facial features are minimally detailed, with prominent eyes, a long, straight nose, and a sharp jawline; the hair is short and looks slightly tousled. The clothing is suggested with a few lines indicating areas of drapery or folds, without any specific details or embellishments. The person's left arm is raised with the hand forming a loose fist, and the right hand holds a cigarette. The background is plain and unadorned, containing only a round red stamp with some text in the upper right section of the canvas.
