The image depicts a sketch scene with two figures. On the right, there is a full-body view of a woman seated on an armchair. She is depicted in a relaxed, reclined position with her legs crossed and one arm resting on the armrest while the other supports her head. Her facial features are minimally detailed, and her hair appears to be styled in a loose updo. She is wearing a form-fitting outfit. To the left, there is another figure, also shown from a full-body perspective, standing and facing slightly away. This person appears to be wearing a similar style of outfit, and their hair is tied back. The standing figure is engaged with an object resembling a book or paper, held in both hands at chest level. The sketch is drawn on a plain background with minimal additional detail aside from abstract lines. The drawing is executed with loose, expressive pencil strokes on beige paper.
