The image depicts a sketched figure in a seated position, with the full body roughly depicted in an abstract style. The figure's torso is slightly tilted, one leg extended forward and the other bent at the knee. The facial features are simplistic, with indistinct eyes and mouth, and the hair is represented with dark, loose strokes indicating length and volume. The entire depiction, including the person's form and hair, utilizes expressive brushwork with black and gray tones. Clothing is absent, emphasizing the contours and posture. There is a dark form adjacent to the figure, possibly another piece of furniture overlapping with parts of the person. A red archival materials stamp is present on the upper portion of the paper. The background is sparse, keeping the focus on the figure.
