The image is a sketch drawing of a person's backside view, showing their upper body from about the waist up. The person is in a slightly bent position, appearing to lean forward with their left hand placed on an unidentified surface and their right hand resting on their hip or lower back. The facial features are not visible as they are turned away, but the hair is depicted with rough lines suggesting a short, possibly tousled style. The person is not wearing any visible clothing, and the surroundings appear to be minimalistic, with sketch lines indicating some form of furniture or objects present. The background of the image is plain, emphasizing the lines of the sketch against the light color of the paper.
