The drawing depicts a man in a reclining position, with his full upper body shown, while his legs suggest a seated posture. His head is tilted back, eyes looking upwards, with curly hair that frames his face, which displays a strong jawline and prominent features. He is wearing a loose, flowing garment that drapes over his shoulders and chest. His arms are extended outward. The man has no visible jewelry or objects in his hands. The background is a plain, textured paper.
