content: Figure sketch of a man carrying a basket on his back in Mexico. Facing us in a three-quarters turn, this man smiles towards us with his left hand on his hip as he wears a beret-type cap. The handle of a large basket is looped over his head and rests on his shoulders, turning the basket into a kind of backpack of sorts. He appears to wear suspenders, but his loosely rendered and largely indistinct.
