The facial features of the person include a gentle smile, short and slightly wavy hair. The person is unclothed, with a clear view of the body's outline. The drawing is done in simple, continuous lines without shading or additional details, against a blank background. There are no visible pieces of jewelry or objects in the person's hands.
