The image is a charcoal sketch of a person's head and shoulders in a three-quarter view. The subject's head is turned to the side, with their gaze directed towards the viewer's left. The facial features are softly defined, including prominent eyebrows and deep-set eyes with expressive shading. The person has short, dark hair with loose strands across the forehead. They appear unclothed, with no visible fabric or accessories. The background is plain with no details, and there is a red archival material stamp on the right side of the sketch.
