A vertically oriented etching in dark ink depicts a miner with a medium skin tone leaning against a mechanical drill. Wearing a rounded hat with a glowing headlamp and a heavy jacket, he gazes downward, his head turned toward our right. Dense, textured lines create deep shadows within the rocky interior, while bright highlights illuminate his forehead. His arm rests heavily on the machine, which features a prominent crank handle.
