The image depicts a sketch with two drawings. The left drawing shows a man in a three-quarter view, facing left. He has short hair and wears a collared shirt, pants, and shoes. The right drawing shows a sculpture of a woman with long hair, wearing a dress that covers her shoulders and reaches her ankles. The woman's sculpture stands on a rectangular base. The background of the sketch is white. The artist's signature appears at the bottom.
