The sketch shows a full-body view of a seated figure with one raised knee and the other leg bent underneath the body. The person is turned slightly to the side, facing towards the upper right where there is a light source or open space. The head is bowed with loose hair flowing towards the shoulders. The figure appears nude with detailed musculature and texture emphasized through intricate linework. The right arm is raised upward towards the top center of the image. There are no visible pieces of jewelry or objects held by the figure. The background is textured with horizontal and diagonal lines, giving a dynamic feel to the composition.
