The image is a sketch of a female figure, depicted from the thighs up to the head. The person is seated with legs spread apart, and both arms are bent at the elbows with hands positioned behind the head. The figure's facial features are loosely rendered, showing a faint suggestion of eyes, nose, and mouth, and the hair appears to be pulled back from the face. The subject is not clothed, and the minimal lines suggest contours and shapes. In the background, there is a lightly sketched horizontal line. A red circular stamp labeled "ARCHIVAL MATERIAL" can be seen in the lower right area of the image.
