The sketch shows a woman from the torso up. She is seated, with her left arm extended and her right arm resting on her lap. Her facial features are gentle, her gaze is down and to the right, and her long hair falls over her shoulders. She is depicted without clothing on the upper part of her body, draped in fabric from the midsection down. There are no visible jewelry or objects. The background has textured shading outlining her figure. The artist's signature is at the bottom right of the drawing.
