The image is a drawing of a man in full body profile, standing and facing left. He is holding a long rifle to his shoulder, aiming to the left, with his elbows bent and the rifle secured against his right shoulder. The man's facial features and hair are not detailed, but he appears to be wearing a cap. He is dressed in a jacket, pants, and shoes. The setting appears outdoors, indicated by lines on the ground suggesting vegetation or uneven terrain. The background is plain, emphasizing the focus on the man in the foreground.
