The etched artwork depicts the upper body of a person in motion from the knees up. The person is positioned with one foot forward, holding a large shovel or similar tool with both hands. Their face is turned slightly towards the viewer, with large, expressive eyes, a defined nose, and a closed mouth. The person has short, wavy hair. They are wearing a simple long-sleeved garment with sleeves rolled up to the elbows. The background is abstract with diagonal lines and curved shapes.
