Image description
The image depicts a person crouching with one knee on the ground, facing to the side with their head turned back slightly and their torso twisted. They have short, textured hair and wear a long tunic tied at the waist with a belt, with rolled-up sleeves. One hand is placed over their chest, while the other hand is gripping the hair of a large human head on the ground before them. The person is barefoot, with a speckled cloth draped across their hip. The background features a simple grid pattern.
