The image is a vintage illustration of a peculiar figure drawn in black, likely with coal, as indicated by the text below. The figure is highly stylized and somewhat grotesque. It has a large, egg-shaped head with a single, small eye. A beak-like protrusion extends from the head, and a long, slender neck leads down to a body that tapers to a point. The figure appears to be sitting or perched atop a mound of what looks like grass or foliage. The drawing is simple and somewhat crude, with thick, bold lines. The background is a pale, off-white color. Above and below the drawing is text, indicating that this is an attempt to depict a character named Pwca, as described by a Welsh peasant.
