The sketch shows a person seated in an armchair, from head to knees. The individual looks down at a book or document held in their left hand, while their right hand rests on the paper. The facial features are minimally detailed, and the person's hair appears loose and wavy. The clothing is loosely outlined, and their lower body is visible. No accessories are shown, and the background is plain.
