He wears a blue and white patterned shirt with short sleeves and white undergarment around his waist. He has no shoes on. The tree has a large gray trunk and dark roots. The man grips the tree trunk with his right hand at the top and his left under his knee. A yellow paper with black writing hangs from the tree and another from the man's sleeve. A wooden sword and cutting board lie on the blue ground near the roots. A red and blue patterned fabric lies on the man's back. The background is mottled brown.
