This image is a sketch of a nude figure, highlighting the upper body and part of the legs. The person is seated with a twisted torso. One arm is across their lap, and the other arm is extended outward. The face is depicted with minimal detail, looking downward, and the hair appears short. The sketch is done with loose, expressive lines, giving an impressionistic portrayal of anatomy. There are no clothes, jewelry, or objects depicted. The background is plain, focusing on the figure. A red stamp is visible on the right side of the paper.
