This is a drawing showing something similar to a human digestive system. On the right, we can see part of a human torso from roughly the waist up to the chin. This person is nude and has pale skin. Attached to their upper arm and shoulder are shapes that are reminiscent of stomach or liver and intestines. Some of these shapes are red, while others are blue and filled with squiggled lines, perhaps suggesting blood flow. One of the intestine-like tubes is yellow. The background behind these shapes and objects is white.
