They are holding a fishing rod with both hands, casting a line into the water. The fishing line curves downward before making contact with the surface, creating a small circular ripple. The shoreline is spotted with a few patches of grass and a small bag or tackle box near the angler’s feet.

Two small white circles suggest light reflecting off the pupil. The sclera, or white part of the eye, has sporadic red, jagged lines, indicating the eye is bloodshot. Short, thin eyelashes extend outwards from the upper and lower lids of the eye. The lashes are more prominent on the upper lid.
