The solitary figure dons a traditional hat, symbolizing his connection to nature and rural life. With an air of tranquility surrounding him, he gazes away from the viewer, lost in contemplation. The woodcut technique employed here adds depth and texture to every stroke, enhancing our appreciation for both artistry and craftsmanship.
