The image features a three-quarter view of a person's body from head to knees. The individual is standing with arms raised, hands covering the face. Facial features are hidden, with rough strokes suggesting hair. The sketch emphasizes contours and shading of the nude figure, with dark brushstrokes outlining the body and softer shading on the torso. The focus is on the form with no clear indications of clothing or jewelry. The plain and light background contrasts with the bold lines of the figure.
