The image shows a sepia-toned etching of a man lying on the ground. The man is positioned on the right side of the image, reclining on the ground with his head tilted back and his eyes closed. He wears a long-sleeved shirt and pants. His right arm is bent at the elbow, and his left arm rests on the ground beside him. The man's body is situated near a barren tree with a thick trunk that leans to the left. The tree has several branches extending out from its trunk, some of which are bare and others that have sparse leaves or twigs. In the background, there are bushes and grasses visible behind the tree. The sky appears dark and cloudy. The overall atmosphere of the image suggests that it may depict a scene of death or dying, as indicated by the title "Death of a Vagabond" by Alphonse Legros.
