The sketch depicts a person in a seated position from the back and side. The individual is reclined against a surface, possibly a bench or low wall, with legs stretched out in front and crossed at the ankles. They are holding a book or similar object with both hands. The person's facial features are not visible due to the angle, but their head is tilted slightly forward. They are wearing voluminous, loose-fitting robes. There are no visible pieces of jewelry. The background is minimal.
