The figure faces slightly toward the viewer with a neutral facial expression, visible eyes, nose, and mouth created by detailed incised lines. The hat has textured, curved marks, and the robe shows dense fur-like strokes around the collar and sleeves. The person's hands rest in front, one touching a flat surface or draped cloth, with visible finger lines and shading. The background is filled with a regular grid of short horizontal and vertical hatch marks creating a dense textured field. The overall color palette includes warm coppery brown tones, darker brown lines from the etching, and lighter tan highlights on raised areas.
