A drop voicing is constructed from top to bottom. You start by building the chord in closed position, filling out some number of voices (usually four), and then "drop" the nth voice from the top down by an octave. (The root, we assume, is played by another instrument, or in the case of piano you can stick it arbitrarily below the rest of the voicing.)
But drop voicings are normally used for chords that have at least four distinct tones. Your example is a C minor triad in root position, and it's a nonstandard open voicing with a doubled fifth (we normally double the root instead). A more standard voicing would change the G in your left hand to a middle C.
