The image is a sketch of an upper body showing a person with their head tilted back slightly. The person is holding one hand up to their face, partially covering it. The facial features are not detailed due to the hand placement, but the outline of the nose and the suggestion of closed eyes are visible. The person's hair appears to be short and swept back from the forehead. They are wearing a short-sleeved garment. A large, detailed earring in one ear is visible, consisting of several hanging elements. The background is plain and unadorned, emphasizing the sketched figure. There is a stamp labeled "ARCHIVAL MATERIAL RD" in the lower right corner.
