A centered folk-art figure fills the lower two-thirds of the frame, facing the viewer in a flat, iconic pose. A wide, dark, flat-topped hat carries a long gold band that reaches past both shoulders, and the emerald robe, finely pinstriped in gold, is simplified into a rounded, block-like shape. Two terracotta-red hands cross at the front, and the softly rendered face has minimal, naive features beneath dark cropped hair.

Behind the figure, a flat two-tone backdrop divides at a soft horizon line, off-white above and deep emerald below. The figure is painted in smooth, graphic blocks of color, while the background shows thick palette-knife strokes, so the textured ground sets off the poster-like clarity of the figure. Even, shadowless light and a palette of emerald, terracotta, mustard gold and warm off-white give the picture a serene, quietly confident air.
