The image is a sketch of a person standing upright. The person has one arm resting on an unseen surface to their left, while the other arm hangs down by their side. The facial features are simple with defined eyebrows and nose, and the hair appears short with textured strokes. The person is wearing a long-sleeved top and possibly pants. There are no visible jewelry or handheld objects. The background is plain, emphasizing the sketched figure.
