The image depicts an older man with a hunched back, sitting or crouching with one leg extended forward. His face is turned slightly towards the viewer, showing his prominent nose and downcast eyes. The man has thin, unkempt hair and is dressed in loose-fitting clothing with rolled-up sleeves and pants that gather at the knees. He is holding a long walking stick and has a hat in his lap. The background is minimally detailed, with a simple textured surface. Handwritten text is visible at the upper part of the image.
