The image is a sketch showing a person's upper body from the head to the thighs. The person stands in a slight three-quarter view with their left arm crossed over their chest and their right arm resting on top of the left. The person's facial features are subtly outlined with only the chin and jawline visible. The hair is hinted at with a basic outline. The person appears nude, except for lightly sketched undergarments. There are no apparent jewelry or objects. The background is plain with minimal environmental details sketched, and there is a stamped emblem on the left reading "ARCHIVIO MATERIA RD."
