The image is an etching of a man's upper body in profile. He is facing right with his mouth open, suggesting he is speaking or singing. He has a full beard, wears a cap, and his hair is neatly tucked underneath. He is dressed in a suit jacket with a bowtie around his collar. His hands are above a keyboard, possibly playing a piano or organ. The background features textured lines creating an abstract backdrop.
