This drawing shows a man standing with his weight shifted onto one leg. His right arm is raised above his head, and faint lines seem to indicate that he is holding something, but the object is indistinct. His left arm is out by his side, holding a draped cloth that is tied across his chest and billows behind him. Other than that cloth, the man is nude. His facial features are faint, showing only a pointed nose, dark eyes, thin lips in a neutral expression, and short hair styled close to his head. The drawing is made of red lines, and the background is plain beige paper, which appears to have some faint stains and areas of gray discoloration.
