The sketch depicts the upper body of a person in a reclined position. The individual is leaning back slightly, with their head turned to the side and facing slightly downward. The facial features are lightly sketched, showing the outline of the face, nose, and lips, with a suggestion of eyes. The hair is drawn with short, dark strokes, framing the face loosely. The person appears unclothed, with emphasis on the posture and body contours. There are no objects or adornments in the background.
