The image depicts a line drawing of a person from the waist up, showing their head, one knee-drawn leg, seated with their back slightly reclined against a surface. The person's head is resting on one hand with an elbow bent, while the other arm loosely crosses their body. Their facial features are minimal, with eyes closed or looking downward, and a relaxed expression. The person has straight long hair and is not wearing distinct clothing. A basic outline of a chair is included. The background is a plain surface, contrasting with the figure, with a red circular stamp saying "ARCHIVIO METRALLU" on the right side.
