This is a drawing of a stuffed figure in an ornate outfit, seated in a chair with a high-back. The figure's attire includes a waistcoat with red-orange color and gold buttons, along with blue and white embroidered designs. Its small boots and hands have visible stitching. The style is reminiscent of period costume illustration.
