The drawing in graphite on white paper depicts a woman standing in three quarters facing left page, her head turned toward the viewer. Her head, face, and arms are rendered only by contour lines; the dress in greater detail. She wears her hair back with a center part, and a long dress with voluminous drapery. She leans against a mantle or sideboard; her right hand is across her waist grasping her skirt, and her chin rests on her left hand, the index finger drawn across her jawline. There is written script on the right of the page.
