The drawing depicts a man in profile, facing left, wearing a shawl or blanket draped over his shoulders. He has on a blue and white checkered garment resembling shorts, and his legs are exposed. The man is also wearing a headband around his forehead and shoes on his feet. In his hands, he holds a spear or javelin. He stands in front of a decorative border that includes a bull's head on the left side and a shield with feathers on the right side. Above him, there appears to be a decorative element with tassels or fringe hanging down. The background of the drawing is off-white, and the overall style suggests it may be a historical or ethnographic illustration.
