The image is an abstract black and white artistic representation of a man's face. The entire face is shown, centered on the canvas. The facial features are created with intricate splatters and strokes, emphasizing the eyes, nose, and mouth with a textured and speckled appearance. The hair appears curly and stylized, with similar artistic strokes forming a dense area around the top of the head. The depiction shows a head adorned with a wreath or laurel that blends into the hair. The artwork does not provide details on clothing or other adornments, focusing solely on the facial features and head. The background is a plain, light-colored canvas that remains mostly untouched. There is fine script beneath the image providing the title "Marcus Aurelius" and artist details, "Tam Ing" and "R. Pozzatti 1963."
