A vertically oriented chalk drawing, where white and brown strokes harmonize on textured pink paper, depicts a seated nude woman. Facing left with head tilted down, delicate fine lines define her form. Bright white highlights catch her torso, chest, and thigh, while dense brown shading defines the figure's hair and the underside of her bent leg. A signature sits in the lower right corner, the composition contained by the paper's irregular, frayed vertical edges.
