The image shows a person standing with their back turned towards the viewer. The person is using a cane for support in each hand. They have wild, flowing hair or feathers and a cap on their head. Their face is not visible due to the angle. They wear layered, tattered clothing, long trousers, and shoes. A small container is attached to their clothing by a strap. The background includes some vegetation and plants. The top right corner features the signature "J. van vliet."
