The sketch shows a person's upper body: head, shoulders, and arms. The individual is seated, leaning slightly forward with one arm resting on a surface. The facial features are minimal, with simple lines for the nose, mouth, and eyes, and light, short hair. They wear a collared shirt depicted with minimal lines. The sketch has sparse lines, no detail on jewelry or objects. The background is plain, and the paper has spots and a stamp labeled "ARCHIVAL MATERIALS."
