The image is an ink drawing of a person from the waist up. The person is in a reclined pose, facing forward. Their facial features are depicted, with a nose and mouth, and short hair. They wear a garment with long sleeves. It looks like they are sitting on a chair, with a grid-like pattern at the bottom. The background shows abstract lines and shapes. No jewelry or objects are visible. The drawing is done in a bold, sketchy style on a light tan background.
