The image is a sketch of a person in a reclining position. The individual is depicted seated, with one leg bent and raised while leaning back. The facial features are outlined, with emphasis on the eyes and mouth. The hair is dark and loose, flowing around the shoulders. The subject is unclothed, depicted through charcoal lines. There are no visible jewelry or objects being held. In the background, faint lines and shading suggest a possible couch, but details are minimal, keeping the focus on the figure.
