A vertical sepia-toned photogravure depicts a nude man with medium skin tone standing atop a large rock. Facing left, he draws a tall bow with his right leg forward and left leg back. His long hair obscures his profile, and a rippling reflection mirrors his arched silhouette in the water below. A hazy shoreline fills the background. The warm, grainy composition includes the text "THE BOWMAN" centered at the bottom margin.
