A man in a red plaid shirt and brown pants is standing in front of a large map on a wall. He is holding a rope that is attached to a harpoon-like object and a glass float. The man appears to be demonstrating how the objects were used, possibly in fishing or whaling. The map on the wall shows coastlines and nautical routes. In the foreground, there are wooden beams that appear to be part of a ship's hull. The environment looks like a museum exhibit.
