The image depicts a male figure from the knees upward, seated in a reclined position with his body turned slightly to the side. His left arm is raised to touch his shoulder while his right arm rests on his knee, and his head is tilted upwards, drawing attention to his facial features including a pronounced jawline and full lips. His hair is wavy and appears to be swept back. The figure is nude, emphasizing the contours of his muscular physique. A drapery or piece of cloth is suggested around his waist and extends to the ground, adding texture to the drawing. The background features loosely sketched elements, possibly suggesting foliage or clouds.
