The image depicts an etching of a person seated on a wooden chair. The person is facing forward with both arms resting, the left arm slightly higher than the right. They have a calm expression with defined facial features, including eyes, a nose, and slightly opened lips. Their shoulder-length wavy hair is partially visible under a wide-brimmed hat casting a shadow on the face. The person is wearing a buttoned shirt with a visible collar and a draped cloak, showing folds and texture. There is no visible jewelry or items held by the person. The background is plain with minimal etching lines, focusing on the person as the central subject.
