The image is a pencil drawing of a person's side profile. The person is sitting, leaning forward with their face on crossed arms on the back of a chair. They have neatly styled hair, closed eyes, and are wearing a long-sleeved garment. The fingers are gripping the chair. The background has minimal details like a shape and writing with the artist's initials and the date.
