This drawing depicts a woman from the thighs up, drawn with minimal lines.

Her facial features include defined eyebrows, simple eyes, a small nose, and a mouth that appears to be in a slight smile. She has short, wavy hair framing her face. The woman is nude. The background is plain beige paper, and there is a rectangular border around the drawing.
