The image shows a line drawing of a seated figure in a reclining position within a square on a larger beige canvas. The figure has curly, short hair and a face looking forward and slightly downwards. The person is leaning back slightly with one knee bent, and is unclothed. Decorative leaves surround the upper part of the figure. The background is plain, creating a simple, monochromatic composition.
