The image portrays a person seated in a crouched position, with their upper body hunched forward. The individual is shown in profile from the waist up, resting one elbow on their knee and holding either their face or hat brim. The person's facial features are obscured by shading. They wear a hat and a long-sleeved garment, and appear to be focused on writing, holding a writing instrument while looking at a surface in front of them. The sketch-style illustration features minimal background, with the artist's signature visible in the lower right corner.
