The sketch features two portraits of a man's face, capturing his head and part of his shoulders. In both images, the man is facing forward and slightly to the side, with eyes wide open in the first portrait and gazing more directly in the second. His facial features are prominent with visible wrinkles and furrowed brows. The man has a receding hairline and short hair, along with a full beard. He is wearing a garment that resembles a jacket or coat. The background is plain and unadorned, consisting of the brown paper on which the portraits are drawn, emphasizing the man's face. The portraits are rendered in a sketch style, using varying shades of charcoal or pencil to emphasize the contours and textures of the man's face.
