A horizontally oriented sepia photogravure depicts a man with medium skin tone standing on a jagged riverbank. Shirtless and wearing a dark waist wrap, he holds a long spear with both hands, its tip submerged in churning water that foams against foreground rocks. To the right, a rocky cliff rises sharply. In the distance, hazy hills meet a pale sky, creating a serene backdrop for the solitary figure.
