The image depicts a full-body sketch of a person in a side profile. The person has a hunched-over posture, with their head slightly bowed and arms crossed in front of their chest. The facial features are softly rendered, eyes looking downward, and long flowing hair draping around the face and down the back. The figure is unclothed, shaded with pencil strokes to suggest form and volume. There are no visible jewelry or objects. The sketch is on brown paper with a grid likely for proportional reference.
