The image depicts a drawing of a man shown from head to toe, positioned on a cross. He is hanging with arms extended horizontally and legs together. His facial features are outlined with a pronounced emaciated look, and his head is slightly tilted to one side. The man has shoulder-length hair, which appears wavy and is depicted loosely around his face. His body is shown wearing only a cloth draped around his waist. The background is plain, featuring a textured appearance. The drawing is bordered by a simple frame with a pale color.
