The artwork depicts a man, St. Sebastian, tied to a wooden post with his body facing right. He has short hair and is shirtless, wearing a cloth wrapped around his waist. His arms are outstretched; the right arm is bent at the elbow with the palm facing up, while the left arm is behind him, presumably tied to the post. The man's right leg is bent behind him, and his left leg is slightly bent in front. The drawing is primarily in reddish-brown color, with some black lines used for shading and details. The background is a light brown color with some darker shading around the base of the post. The drawing appears to be on aged paper with a rough texture. A signature is visible in the bottom-right corner. The overall style of the drawing is in the manner of Jusepe de Ribera.
