The image shows a sketch of a person's upper body, prominently displaying their torso, arms, and head. The person is in a semi-profile position, facing slightly to the right. Their right arm is extended, with the hand appearing to reach out or touch a surface in front of them. The facial features are subtly suggested with a few lines indicating the nose and mouth, and the hair appears short and roughly drawn. The sketch suggests minimal clothing, with emphasis on the body's silhouette over detailed attire. There are no visible accessories or objects being held. The background is plain and unadorned, consisting of an empty expanse of paper. The artwork is signed at the bottom right corner with the name "Grover '39" and the bottom left with "Howard Hanson '39."
