The image shows a nude female figure reclining on a table, facing away from the viewer. She is resting on her left arm, with her right arm slightly bent upward. The figure has long hair tied in a bun. Several individuals, mostly men, are seated around her, absorbed in drawing on sketchpads. One woman wears a hat and a long-sleeved top or dress. Another person wears glasses and holds a cigarette. The group is dressed in various outfits, including suits and collared shirts. The background shows plain walls with pinned anatomical drawings and sketches.
