A vertically oriented wash drawing depicts a figure seated on a ledge, facing our right with knees raised. They wear a short-sleeved tunic, and their hands are pressed firmly against their face. Bold, sweeping black brushstrokes define the body's contours, while streaks of gray wash create shadows along the back and legs. Much of the figure and background remain unpainted, showing the pale, cream-colored tone of the paper.
