Artist, French, 1837 - 1911

The image is a detailed line drawing of an elderly man in profile. He is seated upright and facing to the right. His features include deep-set eyes, a long nose, and a full beard that covers his chin and extends down his chest. He has a lined forehead and is bald with a few hairs above his ears. The man has a thoughtful expression and the lines accentuate the natural creases of his skin. He appears to be wearing a garment, indicated by simple lines around his neck. There is no jewelry or objects in the drawing, and the background is blank.
