A seated figure is shown from behind, wearing a pale Mexican hat and reading an open book, framed by broad steps and a dark recessed background. The composition mixes soft flesh tones with deep blues, whites, and charcoal greys, while draped cloth and scattered objects fill the foreground. The surface is textured and painterly, with delicate shading and blurred edges that soften the scene. Digitally remodeled, hand-colored print after a photograph from the 1970s. In the personal collection of the artist. The paper is Japanese washi.
