The image includes a sketch of a seated person shown from the waist up. The person seems to be examining an object, with their head facing downwards in concentration. The facial features are minimally detailed, and the person appears to have short, dark hair. They wear a collared garment depicted with simple lines. An outline of a table lamp is visible to the left of the person, suggesting an interior setting. The background is roughly sketched, and there is a signature at the bottom right corner.
