The image shows a person standing in profile under heavy rain. The person is holding an umbrella over their head with one hand and keeping the other hand close to their body. The individual has facial features including a long nose and prominent chin, with short hair barely visible under the rain and hat. They are dressed in a knee-length coat, trousers, and shoes, all of which are getting wet due to the rain. The person lacks visible jewelry. The background features a mix of dark and light, representing the heavy rain that blurs the surroundings, with handwritten text in French surrounding the illustration.
