A horizontal photogravure depicts a person with medium skin tone crouching in tall grass and looking toward us with a subtle smile. They wear a thick fur parka with a voluminous hood. A large circular hand drum rests on the ground to our right, while the person holds a long, slender stick against its surface. Rendered in warm sepia tones, the image emphasizes the rich textures of the fur and dry grass.
