The image features an upper-body portrait of a person standing in profile. The individual is holding a pole or staff on their shoulder with both hands. They have distinct facial features, including strong cheekbones, a straight nose, and full lips. The person has long, dark hair braided in two sections with a cloth headband. They wear a plain, long-sleeved garment with no visible adornments. In the background are faint, undefined shapes that resemble tents or pointed structures. The setting is sketched in an illustrative style with a light, monochrome palette. The lower right corner bears the artist's signature, "A. Tepper."
