The image is a black and white photograph of a man standing on the deck of a ship. He is wearing a long robe and a cap, and appears to be looking out at the horizon. The sky is cloudy and the water is calm, with a few boats visible in the distance. The man is standing with his back to the camera, and his hands are clasped in front of him. The deck is made of concrete and has a railing on one side. The overall mood of the image is somber and contemplative.
