The image is a sketch of a nude male figure seen from the back. The figure is standing with one arm bent against a wall, leaning slightly forward. The hair is dark and short, depicted with loose strokes. The figure is not wearing any clothes, highlighting his musculature and form through light and shadow. The background is a textured, light-colored surface with faint sketches of other figures and shapes in the upper right corner. In the lower right area, there is a red circular stamp with the word "Fortuny".
