The image is a sketch of a side profile of a person's upper body. The person is seated with one hand extended outward. The features of the face, including a pronounced nose and chin, and distinct cheek lines, are exaggerated. The hair is depicted with vertical lines. The person is wearing a high-collared garment, and no jewelry is visible. The background is plain and unadorned, with the sketch drawn on a light-colored textured surface, likely a page in a sketchbook.
