The image is a sketch of a person seated in a chair, resting their head on their right hand. The person's facial features are outlined with a simple line, showing a profile with a straight nose and a slightly tilted head. Their hair is short and drawn with a few lines indicating texture. They are wearing a loose-fitting jacket with long sleeves and appear to be wearing a shirt underneath. Next to their left hand on the table surface is an object resembling a cup or a mug on a saucer. The background is plain, with some discolorations and spots on the paper. No distinct jewelry is visible.
