The image shows a full-length figure of a person standing upright. The individual has curly hair under a large, floppy hat. Their facial features are softly delineated, with a slightly tilted head. The person wears a vintage-style outfit with a high collar, decorative buttons, wide pants, and small, pointed shoes. The hands are relaxed by their sides, with one partially tucked into a pocket. The figure stands against a plain backdrop, emphasizing the simplicity of the etching.
