The image shows an upper body view of man named Edgar. He is turned in a three-quarter position with his head facing forward while his right shoulder is slightly turned out. The man has distinctive facial features with marked eyebrows, a straight nose, and a slight beard. His hair is tousled and voluminous with additional adornments such as leaves and small plants interwoven. His bare skin is visible. In his hand, he holds a bundle of wheat. The background is a textured oval, with a caption in the lower part of the frame.
