The image displays a close-up of a person's face. The background is blank. The person's facial features are a furrowed brow, prominent cheekbones, a mustache, and sideburns. The textured, sketch-like quality depicts the features. The person's hair is styled with volume and parted slightly to one side. There are no visible clothes, jewelry, or objects. The background is plain with a light, neutral color, and it includes the signature "Baskin" and some small printed text underneath the image of the face.
