There is a sketched figure depicted in a reclining position. The person is laying on their back with their torso slightly raised, propped up by their right arm. They are shown from the upper part of their thighs to the top of their head, with their left arm resting across their body and their hand on their thigh. The facial features are roughly outlined with a focus on shadow, and the hair appears to be shoulder-length, indicated by broad dark strokes. The figure is not clothed, and shading has been used extensively to define form and contours. The background is a plain, untextured surface, and there is a small stamp marked "ARCHIVAL MATERIALS RD" in red near the lower left quadrant of the image.
