A man with a shaved head, wearing a sheer white shirt with loose sleeves and a gray cloth wrapped around his waist, walks barefoot on a stone path. He holds a small red and black pot with a stick in his right hand and a stick in his left hand. The man's torso is exposed to the right of the sheer shirt. Behind him are palm trees and other vegetation. In the background, a blue and pink sky with white clouds and a flock of birds are visible. The painting has a decorative border with pink and blue colors and gold accents.
