The image displays a full-body view of a person standing upright. The person is positioned slightly turned to the left, looking over their shoulder at the viewer. They have long, wavy hair that falls around their shoulders. The person's facial features are delicately etched with gentle contours depicting their eyes, nose, and lips. They are depicted as nude, holding a piece of fabric draped loosely from one hand. The background is sketched with light, textured lines suggesting foliage and a natural scene. The drawing is bordered by a simple rectangular frame, with the artist's signature at the bottom right corner.
