The sketch depicts a person in a reclining pose. The individual is lying on their side with one arm supporting their slightly elevated torso, and the other arm bent to support their head. Their legs are extended with one knee slightly raised. The sketch does not detail facial features, except for an outline of lips and closed eyes. The person's hair is covered by a cloth or cap, and they appear nude. The background is plain with a geometric pattern under them, implying a type of blanket or surface. No jewelry or objects are visible in the sketch.
