A vertically oriented etching in black ink depicts a man with a light skin tone facing us in a sunlit timber opening. He wears a vest and newsboy cap, leaning one arm on a barrel near a circular sieve. Fine lines and dense cross-hatching define the beams and bricks framing him. To his right, tall wooden ladders lean against walls, while faint wheel tracks mark the dusty floor.
