The image is a sketch of a seated person. The person is seen with one arm resting on an unseen surface and the other arm bent, possibly on their hip. The facial features are abstract, with minimal details and light shading indicating the outline of the face. The hair is loosely drawn and dark, falling behind the head. The person appears unclothed, with emphasis on the natural lines of the body. The background is plain, with no other objects. A red stamp labeled "ARCHIVAL MATERIALS" is in the lower right corner.
