The man grips the hilt of a long sword with his right hand. The sword lies diagonally across his body on the ground. The man is positioned to the right of center. Behind him is a large tree and dense foliage. In the background on the left are buildings with a tower. In the distance are mountains. The sky is lightly clouded. The drawing is on a slightly textured background with darker discoloration spots. The artist's signature is in cursive near the bottom right corner. The drawing is rectangular and bordered by a thin line.
