The image depicts a line drawing of a nude person seen from the back, seated sideways on the edge of a surface like a bed. The person's body is fully visible from head to lower legs, with legs slightly bent and their right arm resting on the lap. The face is in profile facing left, with basic features like the nose and chin visible. The hair is curly and tied back with a ribbon. No clothing is shown, but there are hints of bedding or fabric around the person. The background has abstract lines outlining a room with basic details like a door and walls, on a textured surface. A signature is present in the lower left corner, indicating the artist.
