The image shows two figures. One figure, a man, is depicted standing on the left side. He is holding a hat in one hand and has a rifle slung over his shoulder. The other figure is partially shown on all fours with only their upper body and head visible. The standing man has a cartoonish style with a round face, a prominent nose, and a furrowed brow. He has short unkempt hair and is dressed in a vest, shirt, and knee-length trousers. The figure on all fours wears a cloak and is accompanied by two dogs, one of which is sniffing the ground. The background is a sketched landscape with vague outlines of hills or rock formations in a barren setting.
