The image shows a sketch of a human body from just below the shoulders to mid-thigh, positioned with one arm bent and resting behind the head and the other arm not visible. The figure is depicted in a standing pose with a subtle lean. Facial features are not visible, and the hair is not detailed, only suggested by the outline of the head.
