The image appears to be an old, red chalk drawing on a vertically oriented, aged and somewhat discolored paper. It depicts a seated person, viewed from the side, who seems to be playing a violin or similar stringed instrument. The figure is sitting with legs crossed, one leg extended more than the other, and seems to be focusing intently on their performance. Much of the person's face is turned away from the viewer, emphasizing their engagement with the music rather than interaction with an onlooker. The drawing style portrays a great deal of texture and form through hatching and shading, highlighting the folds in the clothing, the grip on the instrument, and the relaxed yet focused posture of the player. It's a study in gesture and concentration, having a sense of immediacy that suggests the artist might have been capturing a live moment. The paper's edges appear slightly uneven, and a few brown spots can be seen, likely from the age or previous conditions the drawing has been exposed to.
