The image is a black and white line drawing of a seated nude figure in a relaxed position. The drawing shows the midsection and parts of the upper and lower legs of the figure with one leg bent upwards and the foot resting on a flat surface. The other leg is bent with the foot on the floor. The figure's arms are casually positioned, with one on the bent knee and the other on the thigh. The facial features are minimally detailed, showing the lower half of the face with emphasis on the mouth and chin, while the rest is not visible. The drawing does not depict any clothing, jewelry, or objects. The background is plain with ink splatters and a round stamp marked “ARCHIVAL MATERIAL RD” on the lower right.
