A black and white sketch depicts a nude woman with short hair wearing a headband, sitting on the edge of a fountain or statue, facing right. She appears to be interacting with a sculpture of a faun on the right. The woman's left arm rests on the edge of the fountain or statue. Her right forearm rests on her right leg. The sculpture of the faun has a plate on its head. A curtain or drapery hangs behind the pair, and an indistinct figure stands to the left. The background features vertical lines suggesting a wall or trees. A border surrounds the sketch. The overall composition captures a serene moment of interaction between the woman and the sculpture.
