The image shows a person reclining with their arms raised and bent over their head, appearing relaxed in a sketch. The facial features are minimal with faint lines for the eyes and nose. The hair is tousled, and the clothing is depicted with simple lines. Simple, flowing lines surround the figure, possibly indicating a chair or couch. The background is plain with an archival red stamp on the right side that reads "ARCHIWAL MATUZAL" encircling "RD". The sketch is done in a monochrome pencil or charcoal medium on paper.
