The image depicts a person lying down on their side with their back towards the viewer. Their head is slightly turned away, resting on their arm. The person appears unclothed with wavy hair. Nearby is a patterned fan and sketched floral elements. The background features textured surfaces with light sketch marks and shading, surrounded by a simple border. The composition is sketch-like with emphasis on line work and texture.
