The image depicts the upper body of a person in an abstract, stylized form. The person is shown in a side profile, lighting a pipe. Their facial features are exaggerated, including pronounced cheekbones and a large nose. They wear a dark hat and a dark vest over a light shirt, with rolled-up sleeves. The person is holding a pipe to their mouth with one hand and holding a match or lighter near the pipe's bowl with the other hand. The background is plain, with a dark rectangular shape to the left suggesting a doorway or opening, contrasting with a lighter-toned wall.
