Back of a Man with Pole

Walter Shirlaw

National Gallery of Art

The image is a sketch showing an upper body view of a person from behind. The person appears to be standing with their torso slightly bent forward and their head turned slightly to the left. The individual's facial features are not visible. They are wearing a wide-brimmed hat, a short-sleeved shirt, and their right arm is bent as if they are holding an object over their right shoulder. The background is plain and unembellished.
