The image shows a person standing in a slightly bent posture with their legs apart, drawing a bow. The individual is seen in a profile view with one arm extended forward holding the bow and the other drawn back. The person's face is partially obscured by the arm holding the bow string, but the visible profile shows a pointed nose and a smooth facial outline. The individual has long, wavy hair covered by a cap or headband. They are wearing a tunic-like garment with intricate patterns resembling scales or feathers on the shoulder and waist area, along with a fitted stocking or leg band on one leg. A quiver of arrows is attached to their back. The background is plain with light shading.
