The drawing depicts a person in a bent stance, holding a piece of cloth. The person has detailed facial features, including dark eyebrows, deep-set eyes, a raised nose, swept back hair covered by a headscarf, and a focused expression. They wear a loose-fitting T-shirt. The background consists of sketch-like lines for texture, set on tan paper with black and white charcoal or pastel strokes emphasizing contrast and shadow. There are no visible jewelry or distinctive objects.
