The drawing depicts an upper body view of a person floating or ascending. The person is in profile, facing left, with their head slightly tilted upward. They have delicate facial features, including a prominent nose and curly hair flowing around their head. The person wears draped fabric, possibly a robe or gown, with loose, flowing lines. The fabric appears to billow as if caught in a breeze. The individual is not holding any objects or wearing visible jewelry. The background features lightly sketched, wispy clouds and architectural elements like columns.
