The image depicts a sketch of a man standing on a beach or shoreline, with a large bundle of kelp on his back. He is wearing a hat and appears to be looking down. Two other bundles of kelp are on the ground to his left. The background shows a body of water with some lines suggesting waves or ripples. The overall composition and shading suggest a somber and contemplative mood. The sketch is done in black and white, with bold lines and shading. The image is titled 'Kelp Gatherers' by Jean-François Millet.
