The image shows a crouching figure with the full upper body and legs visible. The person is positioned in a squatting posture with both arms extended downwards, holding onto reins or ropes. The figure wears a tall, cylindrical hat that resembles a top hat, and has facial features that include a protruding nose and a prominent mustache and beard. The person's clothing details are indistinct, suggesting a bare upper body. The background is a simple textured surface, colored in a muted tan, with a signed and dated note that reads "A Hecht 1882" in the top right corner. The texture of the paper and the style of the drawing suggest it is done in charcoal and white chalk.
