A Japanese-style woodblock print depicts a peasant-like man with a white head covering, wearing a blue robe, carrying a large bundle on his back secured with green straps. The man has a neutral expression on his face. He leans over a ridge or embankment, partially hidden. The background on the left features dark green ground with a plant featuring thin branches and bright orange flowers. The right side background is light tan.
