A vertically oriented etched copper plate depicts a man with a light skin tone standing in a boat on marshy water. Facing right, he wears a hat and holds a long pole amidst foreground reeds. Above the horizon, birds fly across a sky rendered with thin horizontal lines. Large diagonal and horizontal lines strike through the center of the warm, reddish-brown surface, marking the composition as cancelled.
