The image shows a person standing in a slightly hunched position, leaning on a walking stick with their right hand while holding something in their left hand. The person's facial features are aged, with visible wrinkles, a prominent nose, and partially closed eyes. They wear a headwrap, with some fabric draping over their shoulders, along with a long robe with a tied sash at the waist and a small pouch attached. Their feet are covered, and the background is plain.
