Visual Summary

Brief Description

A figure in loose garments leans backward, carrying a large rectangular object on their back

Detailed Description

This vertical artwork depicts a single person in an off-balance pose, leaning significantly backward and to the left. The figure is rendered primarily with black ink outlines on a light-colored, possibly off-white, paper background. The person's head is turned sharply to the left, looking upwards. Their face and visible right arm show a light reddish-brown skin tone. They have short, dark hair and a visible ear adorned with a circular, coiled ornament or earring. A large, light-colored rectangular object is strapped to their back, angled diagonally from the upper left to the lower right. This object is outlined in black and features a small circular detail on its lower right side. The figure's right arm is raised high above their head, bent at the elbow, with the hand clenched into a fist. The left arm is mostly obscured by the body and the object. They are dressed in loose, flowing garments, including a robe and trousers, depicted with black ink lines that form fabric folds. The main garment appears light-colored, contrasting with the dark outlines. The legs are bent at the knees, and the lower legs are visible, leading to feet wearing simple sandals. The feet are angled. The background is plain, with faint grid lines visible on the light paper.
