The image shows a person standing nude. The person's body is slightly angled and tilted to the side, with hands held together in front of the torso. They have short hair styled away from the face and delicately rendered facial features, with a subtle expression. There is no clothing, jewelry, or objects. The background consists of lightly detailed sketch lines portraying an interior space with geometric shapes. The name "Seurat" is inscribed at the bottom left corner of the image.
