The image shows a head and shoulders illustration of a man in a three-quarter view. His position is slightly turned to the side, with his head facing forward. The man's facial features include a prominent brow, a strong nose, and full lips. He is wearing round glasses with a high reflection, obscuring his eyes. His hair is dark and closely cropped with a slight wave. He is dressed in a collared shirt with a visible button at the top. The artwork is a black and white drawing or lithograph, featuring shading and shadow to add depth. The background is a plain, light-tone canvas, with some shadowing to the right of the figure's head, emphasizing the contours of his face and attire. The artist's signature and date, "Louis Lozowick '30," is noted on the bottom right corner.
