The image shows a person sitting on a chair. The person is upright, holding an object in their hands resting on their lap. They have short, slightly tousled hair and a somber facial expression. The individual is wearing a dark sweater over a lighter shirt, trousers, and shoes. The background is sparsely detailed with sketch-like lines, including a faint outline of a framed picture on the wall to the left. The overall tone of the etching is monochromatic in shades of brown and black.
