The sketch depicts a person seated on a chair or stool. The person is slightly hunched forward, with one arm resting on the lap and the other arm leaning against the chair. The facial features are abstract, with the face slightly tilted down. The hair is short and sketched with soft lines. The person appears unclothed, with broad strokes outlining the torso and limbs. There are no distinct clothing or objects around them. The background is a plain, unmarked surface, emphasizing the minimalist style of the sketch.
