The image shows a man leaning against the window frame of a building. He has his arms resting on the window ledge and is looking directly at the camera. The man has prominent facial features with a slightly furrowed brow, and he is wearing a hat that partially shades his face. He is dressed in a plain, long-sleeved shirt. Surrounding him, there is a window with a tattered screen and an exterior wall with peeling paint. In the foreground, the bottom portion of a wooden wagon wheel is visible.
