This portrait sketch depicts a man from the waist up, with his arms folded across his chest. His head is slightly turned to the side, showing a calm expression with a gentle smile. The man's facial features are softly defined, and his hair is short and neatly combed. He is dressed in a light-colored suit jacket with a shirt, tie, and holding a pair of eyeglasses in his right hand. The background is plain, emphasizing the subject. The artist's signature, Lillian W. Hale, is visible below the image on the right side.
