The image depicts a sketch of a standing figure from the waist down. The figure wears a long-sleeved garment with a belt around the waist. The right arm is drawn in pencil and bent at the elbow, holding an object. The left arm is drawn in red pencil, also bent at the elbow, gripping a cylindrical object, possibly a cane or sword. The background of the sketch is a mottled gray-brown color, resembling paper.
