The image shows a seated figure from the side, sitting on a chair in a pose with their chin resting on their fist. The person is wearing a long coat and has short, curly hair. There are artist's tools around them, including an easel or drawing board and a bag with brushes. The setting is an attic or studio with wooden beams in the ceiling.
