The image shows two full body depictions of the same person in slightly different poses. The person is standing with one hand on their hip and the other hand resting on the opposite side. They have facial features with a prominent nose and a focused expression. The person's hair is curly and voluminous, flowing from under a hat adorned with large feathers. They are wearing a long coat, a vest, trousers, knee-high boots, a sash crossing the chest, and a sword hanging at the hip. The background is plain and the artwork appears to be an etching.
