Artist, French, 1841 - 1919

The image is a pencil sketch of a man's head and neck, capturing his face fully frontal while slightly turned. The man is in a relaxed position, with a long, flowing beard and neatly combed hair, parted on the side. His facial features include pronounced cheekbones, straight eyebrows, and a slightly furrowed brow. His mouth is softly closed, and his eyes appear to be gazing off into the distance. The man’s attire is not fully visible, but the suggestion of a collar can be seen. There is no visible jewelry or objects being held, as the focus is primarily on his upper body and facial features. The background of the sketch is plain, highlighting the detailed pencil work on the individual's face and hair. The signature "Renoi" appears at the bottom right of the drawing.
