The image shows an individual in a bent posture, using two canes for support. The person has a long beard, a visible nose, long, bushy hair, and is wearing a wide-brimmed hat, a cloak or coat that reaches below the knees, loose-fitting pants, and shoes. The coat sleeves are long, and the person is holding a cane in each hand. There are no visible pieces of jewelry. The background is plain.
