The image is a sketch of an individual shown from the back, with the upper body prominently displayed. The person is seated, facing away from the viewer, creating a profile view of the left side of their face and part of their torso. The person's facial features are minimally detailed, with simple lines indicating the nose and basic shape of the face, while the hair is suggested with loose, flowing lines showing it as short and slightly wavy. There is no visible clothing on the person, and the focus is on the contours and musculature of the back, arms, and part of the side. The sketch is drawn on a plain page, with the background left mostly blank. The page number '47' is visible in the upper right corner of the open book where the sketch appears.
