The image depicts a person standing in a slightly bent-forward position with one hand on their head, lifting a hat. The person has exaggerated facial features with a worried or surprised expression. Their hair is short and dark, with the hat perched atop it. They are wearing a dark jacket over a lighter shirt, striped pants, and boots. Around their torso is a sash or band. They are holding a satchel or net in one hand. At their feet is a large bear trap, open and ready to snap. The background shows a rocky and dense forest area with tall trees and bushes. In the foreground is a dirt path or clearing where the person stands over the trap. The artwork is monochromatic, using shades of grey.
