The artwork depicts an abstract person in black ink or charcoal on paper. The figure is shown partially clothed with one bare shoulder visible, from the back and side with a focus on the upper body. The person's head is turned slightly to the side, resting on their arm or a pillow, while leaning over, possibly in a sitting or crouching position. The hair is loosely sketched and appears to be short or pulled back. The clothing is represented as a shaded area, likely draped across the lower body or the back. The background includes sketched floral elements on the right side. There are no visible jewelry or objects being held by the person in the artwork.
