The image displays a pen and ink drawing of a person from the shoulders down to the feet. The person is reclining in a relaxed pose with one arm resting on a surface. The facial features are simplistic, with emphasized eyes and lips, and the hair is short and styled upwards. The figure is nude with minimal line work to suggest the body shape. There are no accessories or objects in the person's hands. The background is plain, directing attention to the figure. The paper is aged with visible creases.
