A vertically oriented drypoint print on off-white paper depicts a nude, stout man with a light skin tone seated on a box. Facing our right in profile, he wears a pointed hat adorned with bells and a large, ruffled collar. His hands rest on his thighs with legs spread. Fine, sparse lines define his rounded torso and facial features, while minimal shading highlights his form against the light background.
