Their hair is short and dark, with the hat perched atop it. They are wearing a dark jacket over a lighter shirt, striped pants, and boots. Around their torso is a sash or band. They are holding a satchel or net in one hand. At their feet is a large bear trap, open and ready to snap. The background shows a rocky and dense forest area with tall trees and bushes.
