The arms are raised above the head, while the legs are bent at the knees. The background is a mottled mix of light and dark grays. The lithograph's simplicity belies its expressive qualities, with the figure's pose conveying a sense of movement and energy. The use of bold lines and contrasting tones adds depth and texture to the image.
