The image shows a detailed drawing of a man from the chest up. He is positioned slightly turned to his left, with a direct gaze towards the viewer. The man's facial features include a pronounced mustache and deep-set eyes, and his hair is covered by a hat. He is wearing a wide-brimmed hat with a dark band and a collared coat, buttoned at the top. The background is plain and unadorned, putting full focus on the man. A signature is visible at the bottom edge of the artwork.
