A lithograph portrait of an Egyptian peasant man dressed in a white galabeya with a white skullcap. His knees are bent, and he is leaning his hands and his face on them, eyes closed as if resting or asleep. His face is wrinkled and his eyebrows are drawn together like he is worried. There is a blurry, vaguely colored background behind him, but he is accompanied by a goose and the head of a bull.
