The image shows a person standing upright. They are holding a rifle and resting one arm on their hip. The person has a short hairstyle covered by a cap with a decorative element. They wear a military uniform with a sash, boots, tight-fitting trousers, and a sheathed sword. The backdrop includes a building, a flag, a body of water with a boat, and another figure. The ground appears grassy.
