You see a man standing, looking strong and determined. He's dressed in old clothes and has a big gesture. The interesting thing about this work is that it shows a famous historical figure, and the artist made it using a special process. The process involved drawing on a stone, which was then used to print the image. This was a new way of making art at the time, and it allowed the artist to create many copies. You can learn more about this kind of art by looking into the technique: lithography.
