The image shows a full-body drawing of a person standing. The person is facing forward with their face slightly tilted upwards and their eyes looking forward. Their facial features include outlined eyes, a straight nose, and lips, with short hair. The person is wearing a long robe with draped fabric and shading for texture. They are holding a hammer-like object in their right hand and a goblet or cup in their left hand. There is no visible jewelry. The background is a plain surface.
