Black and white pencil drawing on paper. A man lies on his back on the left side, with his head resting on a pillow. He wears a cap, and a white cloth covers him from the waist down. A bundle of sticks or twigs or straw is behind his head. A man stands on the right side. He wears a cap, long coat, suspenders, pants and shoes. He holds a rifle in his right hand. A blank space separates the two figures. The background is gray paper.
