The image shows a person seated, with their body visible except for parts of their lower legs and feet behind draped fabric. They are in a crouching position at the opening of a weathered tent made of torn canvas. The person's face is painted theatrically with dark eyes and lips, and they wear an elaborate headdress with feathery adornments and intricate designs that match their ornate garment. They wear white stockings and shoes with decorative elements. The background is the aged canvas, with a diagonal shadow from an unseen structure. The image has strong light and shadow contrast.
