Artist, Italian, 1887 - 1955

The image displays an illustration of a man's upper body in profile, facing left. He has his arms crossed in front of his chest. The man's face is in a three-quarter view, showing his features like a straight nose and closed lips. He has thick, wavy, medium-length hair, and is wearing a garment with a visible collar and a cloak or cape on his shoulders. There are bold, dark diagonal lines across the image, and a portion of a sword with a detailed hilt behind the man. The background is plain, without additional context. At the bottom are handwritten text with the artist's signature "Bucci" and the year "1920."
