The image depicts a nude person seated in a relaxed pose with one leg crossed over the other. The body is shown from the neck down to the thighs, with the head not included. The figure's left arm rests on the bent right knee, while the right arm supports the body, slightly tilted to the right. The drawing uses simple and bold charcoal lines to outline basic anatomical features. The background is plain and unadorned, consisting only of the off-white paper onto which the figure is sketched. There are no visible clothing, jewelry, or objects interacting with the sketched person. A red archival stamp is present in the lower left corner of the image.
