The image shows a seated figure depicted in profile from the waist up against a backdrop of stone or rock formations. The person is positioned slightly forward, with the body shrouded in a draped cloth that covers most of their body, including their feet visible at the bottom. Their facial features, including a pronounced nose and a bearded jawline, are sketched in a somewhat shadowed manner. The hair appears curly and textured. Around the figure, there is a tree with a few visible branches and leaves. The etching includes an artist's signature, "A. Legros," at the bottom right corner.
