The image depicts a charcoal drawing of a nude person seen from behind in a crouching position. The person is kneeling with their upper body bent forward, resting their head on a raised arm. Their hair is shown as a dark, shaded mass, and the shading emphasizes the contours of the back and arm. The person is not wearing any clothing and there are no visible jewelry or objects. The background consists of bold charcoal strokes, creating contrast with the lighter areas of the paper.
