A vertically oriented black crayon drawing on tan paper depicts the head and shoulders of a child. Facing forward in the center, the figure has downcast eyes and a closed mouth. Dark, sketchy lines define the facial features and short hair. A collared garment with one round button covers the torso, and a hand reaches forward in the lower left. Rough shading and visible paper texture characterize the composition.
