The image depicts a sketch on a piece of paper from a notebook. The point of view is straightforward and eye level. The sketch shows a figure leaning against a vertical line, possibly a wall or pole. The figure is in a casual stance and wearing a hat. In the center, there is a lightly sketched structure resembling a small house or building with a gabled roof and square windows. The horizon is not distinctly marked, and the ground is faintly indicated. The style is minimalist with quick, faint pencil strokes in shades of grey.
