The image depicts an artistic sketch of a person from the knees up with a slightly reclined posture. The individual's head is tilted to the side, with delicate facial features, including a nose, mouth, and subtly outlined eyes. Their hair is partially covered by a headpiece or drapery. The clothing is a draped garment, possibly a dress or robe, with folds and shadows suggesting volume and movement. The person holds a long stem with leaves or flowers in one hand and the end of the fabric in the other. The background is a textured paper surface, emphasizing the figure.
