Scene in thin purple-red lines and broader light orange marks. Person standing seen from behind against a horizon line with two large hills in a range. Clear hairline from ear to ear. Straight back. Slightly leaning back on straight left leg. Right leg and arms from elbow onwards are drawn in overlapping and slightly different shapes and directions. Orange texture frames the person in a way, adds some color to the hills, and continues to the sky.
