The artwork shows a seated human figure in a relaxed position. The figure's head is slightly tilted, with one arm resting on their lap. The face is stylized with basic shapes and there are dark, fluid brush strokes representing short hair. The drawing depicts the figure in an abstract style using dark ink or watercolor with tonal gradients to show the body's contours. There is no clothing detail, indicating a nude study. The background is plain, with a stamp in the upper right corner containing the letters "RD" in a circle.
