A pencil figure drawing distinguished by two unusual elements: a hat worn by the model, and a fully described model stand. The model sits on a box-like stand, seen in three-quarter back view, the hat — a wide-brimmed sun hat — the most visually dominant element. The hat's brim creates the composition's strongest horizontal, the face below it turned away in profile.
The studio stand is described with geometric precision: its rectangular sides and top, the stepped platform below — the most fully rendered studio furniture in any life drawing. This stand grounds the figure in a specific physical context, making this the most environmentally situated of the figure studies.
The back view of the seated figure — the spine visible, the shoulder blades indicated, the hip curve — is described with the tonal buildup characteristic of Sidney's most sustained pencil work. The hat above and the stand below frame the body between two strong geometric elements.
At the lower composition, the feet hang or rest — both visible, the toes described. The model is wearing the hat as a prop rather than simply posed: the casual sun hat in a studio setting gives the drawing an informal, almost domestic quality unusual in the life work.
