The image shows a drawing of a woman seated on a blue chair. She has one arm resting on the chair's arm, while her other hand touches her face. Her facial features are subtly sketched, with closed eyes and a calm expression. Her short, dark hair frames her face. The woman is nude, drawn with delicate lines and soft shading. The background features abstract shapes and lines in hues of blue, black, and white. There is a mix of vibrant colors and abstract patterns in the backdrop. Additionally, there is a red and blue patterned area underneath her. The illustration is enclosed by a brown border.
