The image shows a seated figure from head to feet. The person has one leg bent, crossed arms over their chest, and head slightly tilted. The facial features are outlined with bold strokes, emphasizing the eyes and a shadow on the cheek. The hair is suggested with bold lines. The figure appears unclothed, with shading and line work creating the illusion of depth. The background has dark brushstrokes, suggesting a textured environment. A stamp in the lower right corner shows the letters 'RD.'
