The drawing shows a reclining figure on a flat surface, positioned on their side with a slightly arched back, head leaned back, and facing upwards. The figure has a outlined face with closed mouth and defined chin, and loose hair. The body is unclothed, with attention to form and shading. The background is simple and sketched lightly. There are no visible accessories. The artwork is on textured paper, using charcoal or graphite for shading and white highlights for depth.
