The image shows a figure in a dramatic pose on what looks like a battleground. The person is holding a long stick or staff pointed forward. The attire includes a tall, plumed hat and draped fabric. The scene is outdoors with a group of spear-bearing figures in the background. The drawing is enclosed within a simple rectangular frame.
