The sketch shows a person seated from the waist up, leaning slightly forward. The person's head is turned to the left, with their gaze looking down. The facial features are outlined, depicting a smooth forehead, closed or downcast eyes, a defined nose, and mouth. The hair is drawn with wavy lines, indicating a textured or curly style pulled away from the face. The person is wearing a simple top, with minimal detail. One arm is bent at the elbow, resting on an object in their lap, while the other hand is partly visible near the fabric. There is no visible jewelry. The background consists of minimal lines suggesting vertical and horizontal elements. The style is a loose line drawing on a plain background, focusing on form simplicity.
