The image is a sketch of a person seen from the shoulders up. The person is facing sideways with their head slightly turned towards the viewer, and their right arm raised in motion. The minimal facial features show a soft and smooth face with closed or downcast eyes. The hair is short and lightly textured. The person is wearing a draped garment, and there are no visible accessories. The background is plain with subtle marks suggesting texture or imperfections in the paper.
