This image is a detailed drawing showing the profile of a man's upper body - specifically his head and shoulders. The man is positioned in a side profile, facing to the right. His facial features are distinctive, with a prominent chin and lips, a bulbous nose, and a well-defined jawline. He has short, curly hair, which is partially covered by a woven cap decorated with a pattern. His clothing includes a coat with a fur collar, and there is a cord near his neck with a decorative element or button. The background of the image has a textured pattern created by crosshatching. There is an inscription at the bottom left which reads "Bossi Sc. f. 1778."
