Opis obrazu
The image shows a sketch of a seated figure in an upright position on a chair or throne. The figure has long hair, subtle facial features with closed eyes, and a serene expression. They are wearing a flowing garment that extends to the ground, with their hands positioned outward from the body. The sketch is drawn with soft pencil lines on a plain background, emphasizing the figure in the composition.
