Black and white sketch on light blue background, depicting a nude man lying on a rocky surface. The man is positioned on his side, facing the right side. His head is resting on a folded arm, and the other arm is extended above his head. His legs are bent at the knees. The rocky surface has some foliage. The background shows more sketchy lines suggesting additional foliage and possibly a structure. The artist's signature is visible in the bottom right corner.
