The image shows a black lithograph on cream-colored paper, depicting a nude woman. The woman's body is relaxed, with her head turned to the side and her eyes cast downward. Her hair is pulled back, and her arms are bent at the elbows, with her hands resting on her thighs. The lithograph is rendered in bold, expressive lines, with a focus on capturing the woman's pose and contours. The use of black ink on cream-colored paper creates a striking contrast, drawing the viewer's attention to the subject.
