The sketch depicts the upper body of a nude person seated with legs slightly spread. The person is in a relaxed pose, with one arm bent and hand resting on their thigh, and the other arm appears to be resting against the back. Their face is oval-shaped with light lines suggesting features such as eyes, nose, and mouth. The hair is short and tousled, depicted with rough lines indicating texture. The individual sits on a surface resembling a bed or couch, with faint lines suggesting cushions. Faint outlines of objects are visible on the left side of the paper. The background is plain, with a red seal or stamp in the lower left corner of the sketch paper.
