The image shows a person standing in a slight profile, facing to the left. They are wearing a hooded garment that covers their head and drapes down to their ankles, revealing the lower part of the forearms. The facial features are not distinctly detailed. The individual is holding a pole or staff-like object in one hand and a few stalks of garlic or onions in the other hand. In the background, there is a basket on the ground with circular objects and a barrel with more garlic or onions. Beside them, a large jug with a spout is visible. A banner with text curls through the image.
