A horizontally oriented black ink print on off-white paper depicts a Black man with a dark skin tone carrying a rectangular suitcase. Positioned in the center and facing left, the man is bent over, wearing a dark top hat and white shorts. His dark, muscular form contrasts with the hazy, textured landscape around him. In the bottom right corner, red block letters read "VIENT DE PARAITRE."
