The image displays a man standing upright. He is facing forward with his head turned slightly upward. He has a youthful appearance with fair skin, short dark hair, and is wearing a wide-brimmed hat, brown jacket, white shirt, light-colored trousers, tall socks, and shoes. In one hand, he holds a sickle, and in the other hand, a round woven hat. Beside him is a small dog with a brown and white coat. The background consists of a rural landscape under a large, pale sky with a round shape resembling the sun or moon.
