The image depicts a charcoal sketch of a person from the back, from the head down to the upper legs. The figure is standing with their right arm extended upwards and out of the frame. The head is turned slightly to the right, showing the back of the head and neck. The person is unclothed, with defined details of the back, shoulders, and buttocks. The hair is short and textured, drawn with bold charcoal strokes. The background is plain and light-colored, and there is a circular red stamp in the lower left corner.
