An elf sitting with both legs out in front, a long pointed hat flopping over to one side and a candy cane held in both hands. The ribs on the jumper and the cuffs are short repeated strokes, and they are what stop the figure looking flat. For an animal instead of a character, the polar bear is beside it.
