Purple line drawing of a figure covering the majority of a page. The position doesn't make sense, showing front of a disproportionately big face and chest area and a small butt at the same time. The figure appears to be floating or falling. Stubby legs straight up, stubby arms down. Two large downward half circles are the only facial feature. Face also reads like a torso.
