The image shows a seated male figure reclining slightly backward. His left arm is raised and bent, holding onto something above, while his right arm rests on an object beside him. His facial features are detailed, with a neutral expression and a slightly downward gaze. He has short, neatly combed hair with a side parting. The man is depicted in the nude, emphasizing his muscular form with detailed shading. He is seated on a cushioned surface, and the background is simple. The drawing is done in pencil on paper, with shading for depth.
