The black and white painting depicts a seated figure in a kneeling pose. The person's body is shown with one leg folded underneath and the other foot on the ground. The torso is slightly turned, and the head is facing downwards with a hand resting on the chin. The facial features and hair are abstract. The figure is nude and surrounded by expressive brush strokes. There are no visible jewelry or objects. The background is abstract with bold brush strokes, creating contrast with the figure.
