The image is a drawing of a partial view of a human figure. Only sections of the upper body are visible, truncating at the waist and legs, with the right side of the face and part of the torso shown. The figure is positioned in a seated or reclined pose with their left arm crossed over the body. The facial features are minimal, with slight emphasis on the outline of the lips and jawline. The hair is not distinctly detailed. There seems to be no visible clothing, emphasizing the contour lines of the body. The drawing is framed with a stamp in red on the left side marked "ARCHIVES A.D. MATHURIN". The background is plain, with a few scattered smudges and marks indicative of artistic renderings.
