This is a close-up, monochromatic drawing of a person shown from the chest upwards. The person is in a static position, facing forward. The facial features are softly defined with dark eyes, a straight nose, and unsmiling lips. Their hair is covered by a textured helmet or cap that covers the head entirely, fitting closely and extending down towards the neck. The person is wearing a cloak with evident folds and a high, possibly ribbed collar visible beneath. Their right hand is holding a long spear and is at the edge of the image. The background is dark and textured.
