The image is a monochrome line drawing showing a person's upper body seated in a side view, slightly turned to the left. The person's head is turned to the side, revealing facial features such as the nose and closed eye. The hair is long and flowing down the back. The drawing captures the contour of the body with some detailing in lines and shading for depth. There is no clothing or jewelry depicted, and the person is not holding any objects. The background is plain to emphasize the figure. A stamp with the text "ARCHIVIO MATRICE RD" is at the bottom left corner of the artwork.
