The sketch shows a loosely outlined figure of a person from the back, capturing nearly the entire body, excluding the very bottom of the feet. The person appears to be in a standing position, with a dynamic posture. Their facial features are minimalistic, with only an outline suggesting the face profile shown in three-quarter view. The person wears a wide-brimmed hat which partially obscures the face. The rest of the clothing appears to be quite simplistic, possibly loose-fitting attire, such as a coat or jacket, with long pants. The figure's hands are raised near the face. The background is plain and unadorned, consisting of the sketch paper itself.
