Hazy charcoal drawing on beige paper of a dancer seated in a poufy dress. They extend their left leg forward, bracing their left arm against it while they lean their head on their right hand, their right elbow resting on their bent right leg. Sparse strokes convey their skirt flaring  behind them and up to the shin of their extended left leg. Their face and torso are the most darkly shaded.
