The view looks down at a single sheet of drawing paper lying flat, filling most of the frame, its four deckled edges visible at the corners with a sliver of pale desk surface beyond. On the paper, drawn in graphite with dry-brush shading, is a girl shown from the chest up, one shoulder turned slightly back and her head tilted a touch to her left so her long wavy two-tone hair — one half the darker strand tone, one half lighter — spills down past her jaw, the sidelocks falling in two soft comma curves beside her cheeks. Her skin is rendered in a light brown graphite tone, and thin tiger stripes curve across her upper arm, her shoulder and one hip where the bikini's strap crosses. She wears the sleeveless bikini — simple narrow straps, a clean triangle of paper-white showing around the fabric — and her weight rests on one hip, which pushes her near shoulder forward. Her right arm is raised, elbow bent, index finger pointing up and slightly toward the image's edge, the other hand relaxed out of view; her hand's contact with the page is stated by the leaded graphite greys under the fingers rather than any dress.
Her expression is gentle and serene: eyes softly open looking down the angle of the raised finger, then out toward the viewer, a faint smile with lips left slightly parted and one small fang catching a point of graphite shadow at the corner of her mouth. Her hair is drawn with clean sweeping strokes that break into looser curls at the ends, and the raised arm carries a faint smudge of shading where the wrist turns.
The light comes from a single window at the upper left and only reaches the sheet from that side: the paper's left edge is bright, the drawn lines are darkest where the pencil was pressed hardest, and a faint soft shadow of the paper's own thickness falls along the right edge. The eraser crumbs and the faint grey bloom of repeated shading are the paper's only other marks. The palette is entirely warm off-white, pencil black and the muted brown-grey of shaded skin, nothing else. Delicate, serene.
