The artwork depicts a full-length person in an expressive ink style. The figure is seated, with their head slightly tilted forward. Facial features are suggested with bold ink washes creating shadow. The person's hair is depicted as a bold, dark mass. The figure appears unclothed, with ink strokes accentuating the body's contours. The background is sparse, consisting mainly of negative space with bold ink strokes adding depth and contrast.
