An Acadian man with minimal clothing that covers only his genitals is holding a dead rabbit and a bird in his hand while carrying an axe in the other hand. He is also carrying a quiver of arrows on his back. His skin is coloured green., The image is very similar to R9266-3490, and is likely etched by a different artist in other editions of Encyclopédie des voyages as is suggested by the Sotheby's inventory list.
