The image depicts the upper half of a man's body, from the chest upwards. The man is slightly angled to the right but looks directly ahead, engaging with the viewer. His facial features include a thick beard and mustache, with eyes deeply set below a furrowed brow. His hair is short, wavy, and receding slightly at the temples. The man is dressed in a simple shirt with visible buttons at the upper chest, a modest collar that sits low and open. The background is plain with minimal lines indicating a corner of a room or a backdrop, emphasizing the detailed portrayal of the subject. There is a signature at the bottom right corner of the drawing.
