A man with a bald head and a white and black striped shirt is bending over, holding a long pole with a large net on the end. The man is wearing a red and brown loincloth and blue pants. He has no shoes on. The background is a light beige color with some darker shading at the bottom. There is a gold and black border around the image. The man is standing on a flat surface, possibly a beach or a dock. The net is triangular and appears to be made of a mesh material. The man’s left hand grips the pole below the net. A green pouch and a round object are on his back. A red seal appears on the bottom right.
