The image shows a crouched figure engaging in an activity, positioned at the bottom right. A rake extends into the scene. The horizon is high, with sketched trees and hills in the background. Trees encircle the mid and distant areas with delicate strokes implying movement. The style is loose and sketchy, resembling an etching. The color palette is monochromatic with sepia tones, emphasizing lines and shapes.
