The image is a line drawing showing a person sitting down. The person has their legs bent, one on the ground and the other raised closer to the body. Their upper body is slightly tilted forward, with one hand resting on their face. The facial features are outlined, suggesting eyes, a nose, and a mouth, and the head has simple lines indicating either baldness or a cap-like outline. The figure is unclothed and lacks any details indicating fabric or accessories. The background is minimalist, with square and rectangular shapes hinting at walls or surfaces, and a simple window or frame behind the person. In the lower right corner, there is a red circular stamp saying "ARCHIVES d’ARTISTE RD."
