A large red chalk standing figure — the full body from crown to feet, the most striking element being one arm extended outward and to the left, the hand visible at the composition's left edge. The arm creates a strong horizontal accent crossing the vertical of the standing body, the extension making this figure actively reaching rather than passively standing.
The figure is seen slightly from behind — the face barely visible at the upper right as the head turns, the body showing its back and side. The hair falls loose and long from the crown, described in parallel red chalk strokes.
The body from shoulder to feet is drawn with the characteristic sanguine economy: outer contour, brief shadow at the hip and thigh, the feet at the bottom with the characteristic toe attention. Both feet are on the ground — the weight stable, the posture that of someone reaching comfortably rather than straining.
The extended arm and the contrapposto of the standing pose together create the most dynamically active standing figure in the red chalk series.
