The drawing depicts a person seated on a chair. The individual is reclining slightly back, with the left arm hanging on the chair's backrest and the right arm resting on the lap. The figure's head is turned to the right, partially obscure facial features and keeping them undefined. The hair appears short and slightly tousled. The person is not wearing clothing. Shadow and contouring are used to define the body's form. There is a suggestion of an earring on the left ear. The surroundings show the outline of a chair and a minimal suggestion of a table's edge to the left. The background is bare, with a stamp marked "Archivio RDB" placed in the bottom right corner.
