A horizontally oriented red chalk drawing on light paper depicts a nude male with a light skin tone reclining. His head is tilted down toward the left. He raises his left arm behind his head while his right arm extends toward the right foreground. Broad diagonal hatching and soft, blended shading define his muscular torso and limbs. His legs stretch into the background across a lightly sketched surface.
