The image is a sketch drawing of a person's face and shoulders, covering the upper body. The person is positioned facing forward with a slightly turned head to the left. The facial features are depicted in simple lines, including eyes, eyebrows, nose, and closed lips, with a focus on the outline rather than details. The hair is roughly sketched, suggesting a back-swept style. The individual is wearing a collared garment, which is also minimally outlined. There are no visible jewelry pieces or objects being held. The background of the sketch is plain, and the drawing is on paper with a visible red archived material stamp located at the bottom left corner.
