The image is a line drawing of a person's body, showing them from the upper thigh up to the head. The person is sitting in a relaxed position with their left arm raised over their head, and their right arm resting on a surface. The face is depicted with simplified and bold features including eyes, nose, and lips, and a few lines suggest the hair on the head. The person appears to have short hair, and the body's outline conveys the form with minimal detail. The setting around the person is sparse, with only some lines suggesting their seated position on an unspecified surface. There is a red circular stamp in the lower left corner labeled "ARCHIVAL / RD / MATERIAL" against the plain, blank background of the drawing.
