It is a sketch showing the upper body of a person. The individual is seated and appears to be leaning forward slightly, with their arms resting on their lap. Their facial features are minimalistic, focusing on the outline of the face, eyes, and mouth. The person is wearing a hood or headscarf covering the hair, and dressed in a robe-like garment. They are holding an object that looks like a piece of paper or a book. The background is plain, on untextured paper with slight discolorations.
