The image is a drawing of a man's head and shoulders portrait. The man is facing forward with a slightly turned head, showing a three-quarter view of his face. He has a prominent nose, deeply set eyes, and a full beard and mustache. His hair is short and neatly styled. He is depicted wearing a collared garment with a visible tie. The background consists of closely spaced horizontal lines for texture. The drawing is detailed with line work, and it appears to contain a signature in the lower-right corner.
