The image shows a full-length profile of a person who is depicted in a bent-forward position. The figure's facial features are exaggerated with a long, pointed nose and a bushy beard. They wear a cap on their head and are dressed in a long coat and tight-fitted pants. They hold something in front of their abdomen. In the background, there are buildings with arched windows and doorways, as well as a tower to the left. A crowd of smaller figures is in the square or street beyond. The background has smaller people engaged in various activities or watching something, with a sky filled with light clouds.
