The drawing depicts a person standing upright, facing slightly to the side with one raised arm and the other partially extended. The facial features are softly rendered, with a focus on the eyes, and the hair is wavy. The person is wearing a garment with a high-neck collar and draped fabric, possibly a robe or cloak. There is no visible jewelry. In the background is a simplistic architectural element resembling a door or an archway, with abstract shapes. The title "QUAI HENRI IV" is inscribed at the bottom in uppercase letters.
