The image shows John Barleycorn as a rustic, bearded figure with barley stalks woven into his hair and beard. He holds a frothy mug of nut-brown ale, standing at the center. Around him, a circular composition illustrates the full brewing process: sowing the grain, harvesting, malting, fermenting, and finally, the pouring of ale. The style resembles an old woodcut or vintage folk-art print, with warm, earthy tones and detailed, symbolic elements.
