This drawing is a sketch of a seated person shown in full-body view. The person is leaning forward, seated on a stool or chair with both arms on the edge of the seat, looking towards the viewer. Their facial features are simply drawn, with sharp eyebrows, a small nose, and a slightly downturned mouth, framed by shoulder-length hair. The person is nude, with visible breasts, open legs, and a shaded area of hair around their groin. The background is plain paper with some small brown stains.
