The image depicts a nude figure from approximately mid-thigh upwards. The person is seated with one leg bent, and their upper body is turned slightly to one side. The arms are raised, with hands positioned on top of the head, fingers interlocking with loosely styled hair. The figure's face is in profile, somewhat obscured by the arm. There are no clothing or accessories present, and the emphasis is on the natural lines and form of the body. The background is plain and unobtrusive, highlighting the detailed black line drawing.
