A vertically oriented etching depicts a child with light skin tone standing centrally, gazing forward. He wears a dark jacket, light knee-length trousers, and dark shoes. He cradles a large sword in its scabbard, pointing downward to our left, with a long, buckled strap hanging from it. The background features dense, textured hatching. A signature appears in the bottom-left corner.
