The image shows a man sitting outside against the wall of a building. He is seated on a wooden chair, with his right leg crossed over his left knee. The man's face is partially obscured by a wide-brimmed hat, casting a shadow. He is wearing a jacket over a shirt and trousers, along with shoes. Next to him, a dog is lying on the ground to the left, while a chicken is standing to his right. The background has a plastered wall with two small, square windows and a central door with the number "81" above it. The foreground is bare dirt ground with no vegetation or additional objects.
