The image shows a figure standing in a three-quarter view facing left. The person is touching their head with the left hand and holding a rolled object in the right hand. They have a distinctive nose and short, wavy hair, wearing a loose shirt and knee-length pants with a belt. On the table are a cup, a small pitcher, and a fringed cloth. The background features wooden floorboards.
