The image is a charcoal drawing of a person reclining. The person is laying on their back with their head turned to the side, resting on an elevated surface. Their left arm is bent at the elbow, with the hand behind the head, and their right hand is near the hip. The person's facial features show closed eyes and a relaxed expression. The hair is short and not heavily detailed. The person is unclothed, and the focus is on the body's contours and shadows. There are no visible jewelry or objects. The background is plain, emphasizing the figure. An oval stamp marked "ARCHIVES/RD/MATISS" is at the lower left corner.
