The sketch depicts a partial side view of a person's body from the shoulders to just below the knees. The person is in a stance with one leg slightly bent and lifted onto an unseen surface, while the other leg supports their weight. Facial features are not detailed, and the hair is roughly depicted with loose sketch lines. There are no clothing details visible, as this appears to be a nude study. Sketch lines indicate the body's contours and posture. The image is created with bold, black lines and minimal detail in a gestural style. The background is plain and unmarked, emphasizing the subject of the drawing.
