The image is a sketch of a semi-nude person shown from the waist up, sitting with one knee bent and resting on the ground. The person's body is slightly turned to the left, with the left arm extended and the hand placed on the floor for support, while the right leg is positioned in a way that the foot is visible. The facial features of the person are not defined, as only the outline of the head is sketched with no specific details. The hair is indicated with a simple outline. The drawing lacks clothing, and there are no visible accessories or objects being held by the person. The background of the sketch is plain and unadorned, with the focus entirely on the figure drawn in black lines on a cream-toned paper.
