The image shows a marionette puppet designed to resemble a person. The puppet is in a standing position with its left arm bent and hand positioned near its waist while its right arm is slightly extended. The face of the puppet features a painted expression with bright eyes and an exaggerated mustache, and its hair is short and dark, styled close to the head. The puppet is dressed in a light-colored shirt with a wide collar and a yellow ribbon tied at the neck, paired with large, checkered pants in tones of gray and brown, and brown shoes. The strings of the marionette are visibly attached to the head and both arms. The background is a plain, neutral beige with the name "Hilde Closs" signed in the lower right corner.
