A man is in his 20s or 30s with short dark hair, receding a little, dark eyes and a beard, neither wild and long nor neatly groomed. He is looking straight at the viewer through the V-shape of forked tree branches.
To the right, the gruff, segmented bark of the trunk, close up. To the left, this is obscured by his hand dominating the foreground, his fingers firmly grasping the tree, seeming larger out of focus. He has a gently searching gaze, conveying after some concern, looking upwards as if towards someone looking down at him from higher up in the tree, as he stands near it, arms raised.
