The person's facial features are partially depicted, including eyes, nose, and mouth, with simple hair strokes. The person is unclothed, and there are minimal body contours. There are no jewelry or objects. The background is plain paper with a small emblem in the lower left corner that reads “ARCHIVES PD MATISSE.”
