The image shows a side profile of an older man reading from an open book. He is standing and holding the book in his right hand. The man has distinct facial features, small round glasses, short tousled hair, and is wearing a striped cap with earflaps. He wears a high-collared garment and carries a long firearm under his left arm. In the background, there are sketches of tall grass, marsh reeds, branches, and small birds.
