The image shows a full-body drawing of a person standing upright, facing slightly toward the viewer's right. The individual has curly hair and a beard, looking directly forward. They are dressed in a long, flowing robe that reaches the floor, with their hands clasped together at waist level under the garment. The clothing style suggests a historical or classical context. There are no visible accessories or objects held. The background is plain, and the drawing is in monochrome sepia tone, signed "Del Cigoli" at the bottom.
