The image shows a black-and-white drawing of a person from the chest up, facing forward with a straight posture. The facial features are pronounced, with a long face, prominent cheekbones, and a stern expression. The individual's hair is long, dark, and parted in the middle, with two feathers tied at the crown. They are wearing clothing with a triangular collar and a tie secured with a round clasp. The background is plain, and the bottom of the image includes text that reads "WOLF ROBE CHEYENNE 1970 BASKIN" and is signed by the artist.
