The image shows a sketch of a seated figure from head to knee. The figure has one leg bent with the foot resting flat on the ground. The figure is in a relaxed position, with one arm resting on their knee and the other arm hanging loosely by their side. The facial features are simplified and the hair is short and neatly drawn. The clothing is minimal, with a draped garment over the shoulder. The lines of the sketch are flowing and unrefined, emphasizing the form of the subject. There are no visible jewelry or objects being held by the figure. The background is plain and unadorned. A stamped mark is present in the lower left corner of the image.
