The drawing shows a nude figure in a side-lying position, with the upper body and legs as the primary focus. The person's arms are positioned - one bent at the elbow resting on the forehead, and the other draped across the chest. The facial features are loosely sketched, with hints of eyes and a mouth, while the hair is short and tousled. The lack of clothing or accessories is evident. The drawing emphasizes posture and form over specific details. In the background, there is a plain, light surface, with a circular red stamp in the upper right corner bearing the text "ARCHIVA R D RATHENAU."
