The image displays a sketch of a seated individual from the head to the thighs. The person is shown facing slightly towards the viewer with their head turned to the left. The facial features are depicted with simple lines and shading, capturing a contemplative expression. The hair is short and straight, falling to the sides. The figure appears unclothed, highlighting the body's contours with shading. One hand is resting on a surface or knee, fingers relaxed, and the other arm stretches across the body. There are no visible jewelry or objects being held. The background is plain, focusing on the person. In the lower left corner, a red stamped mark reads "ARCHIVES RD LIECHTENSTEIN."
