Each sketch is framed by a brightly colored background—orange, blue, pink, and turquoise—and includes detailed drawings of faces, hands, and a reclining figure. A tall yellow wooden coat rack stands to the right, and the lower portion of the image shows a floral-patterned bedspread with bold red, green, and blue flowers.

Their face is illuminated against a dark background, highlighting the texture of their skin and the folds around their eyes and mouth. The person wears a collared shirt beneath a dark garment, creating a strong contrast with the dramatic lighting.
