The image displays a young boy positioned behind a mechanical device. The boy is standing with his body slightly turned to the right, hands resting on the wooden apparatus. He has short hair mostly covered by a brimmed hat, with a youthful complexion and is wearing a buttoned-up shirt and dark trousers. The mechanical device includes a hand-operated wheel with a belt attached. The background consists of a tiled floor with a checkered pattern and a plain wall, indicating a studio or workshop setting.
