This drawing is a simple sketch of a nude woman from the thighs up. The woman’s body faces us, while her head is slightly turned to the left. Her facial features are simple, including a long nose, large eyes, thin eyebrows, and thin lips. Her hair is long and flowing, depicted in gentle waves past her shoulders. Her hands are clasped together at her waist. The background is plain beige paper. There is a signature in the top right corner that reads "Picasso."
