The sketch is of a reclining figure with their full body visible. The person is lying back with one arm bent behind their head and the other raised towards their face. The facial features are subtly drawn in a side profile with closed eyes and an angular jawline. The hair is short and slightly tousled. The figure is depicted in a simplistic, minimalistic style, implying nudity without clothing details. The background is plain, focusing on the figure. A faint stamp with the text "ARCHIVE MATERIALS RD" is seen in the top right corner.
