The image displays a partial body sketch of a person from the knees upward, focusing on their upper body and head. The person is kneeling, with one arm raised and bent, shading their face. The facial features are expressive, showing an open mouth and wide eyes, and the sketch renders the person's hair as short. The figure is unclothed, emphasizing the natural contours of the body, and they are not wearing any visible jewelry. The background is a plain, unadorned surface. There is a feathered headpiece or helmet near the person. The artwork signature is at the bottom.
