A vertically oriented print in brown ink depicts a nude woman seated in profile, facing our left. Her dark hair is pinned up, her right arm raised to her head, and her left arm reaching toward a vertical cloth. The figure is rendered with soft, grainy textures while the background remains sparse. A horizontal fold marks the top, and a signature is inscribed along the bottom edge.
