A pencil sketch of a woman on a piece of white paper with a black border around the edges. The woman sits on a barrel, facing right. She wears her dark hair in a bun and has on a long dress with a collar. The woman's right arm is bent at the elbow with her hand resting on her knee. Her left arm is obscured. The barrel is drawn with simple lines, and two of its legs are visible. The background of the sketch is light and featureless. The sketch appears to be a page from a sketchbook.
