A pencil drawing of a man wearing an apron sitting on a chair, carving a crucifix. The man is on the left side. He has short hair, and a long-sleeved shirt under the apron. His head is bent down to look at the object in his hands. His right leg is crossed over his left. The chair has a decorative back. To the right, there is a table with a sculpture of the crucified Jesus on it. Behind the sculpture, there is an easel with another sculpture on top. The table has a curved leg visible.
