Image description
The image shows a sketch of a figure in a kneeling position, viewed from the back. The individual has their left knee on the ground and the right knee raised, with both arms extended upwards and slightly outwards. Short hair is sketched following the contour of the head. The figure does not have any clothing depicted. In the background, on the right side, there is a detailed sketch of a person's head from the back, focusing on the flow of wavy hair. The background is a plain, textured paper.
