The image shows a detailed drawing of the head of an elderly man. The man is depicted slightly turned to the side, facing towards the right of the viewer. He has prominent brows, slightly closed eyes, a large nose, and full lips. His light-colored hair appears thinning with longer strands falling over his ears and the top of his head. The drawing is monochromatic, accentuating the lines and shadows on the man's face and head. No clothing, jewelry, or objects are shown, and there are no background elements. The head is surrounded by a dark shading, contrasting with the lighter tones used for the face.
