The image depicts a man in a long, dark overcoat standing on a street at night. He is focused on an activity in front of him, holding a long rod with a metal loop at its end directed towards a flat object on the ground. The man's facial features include a prominent forehead and neatly combed back hair. The background is dimly lit by streetlights, outlining parked cars and structures in the distance.
