The image shows a full-body sketch of a person in profile view facing left. The individual holds a rifle over their right shoulder with their left hand and their right hand is on their belt. They wear a wide-brimmed hat and simple attire. Surrounding the main figure are three close-up side profile sketches of the head from various angles, emphasizing the hat and facial structure. The background is plain.
