The image is a drawing of a man shown from the shoulders up, captured in a frontal position. The man's facial features are prominently detailed, with a short, thick beard and intense eyes. His hair is depicted as dark and somewhat tousled. He appears to be wearing a garment with a high collar around his neck. There are no visible accessories or objects being held. The background of the drawing is filled with bold, dynamic pencil strokes that contrast with the more distinct lines used for the man's face. The bottom right corner of the image bears a signature.
