The sketch depicts a side view of a person standing in a natural setting. The person is positioned with a slight bend forward, as if gazing downwards, and we only see them in profile. Facial features are minimally detailed, indicating a calm or neutral expression, and the person's hair is long and drawn back, partly covered by a rounded hat. This individual is clothed in a long, flowing garment of a muted orange color that drapes loosely to their feet. They appear to be holding a book or similar object in their hand. The background presents a stylized version of a natural scene, with loosely sketched trees and foliage in soft greens and browns, establishing an impression of a wooded or garden environment that frames the figure within a simple blue border.
