This image is a side-profile depiction of a man's head and part of his shoulders. The man is facing left, with his head slightly bowed. His facial features include a prominent nose and furrowed brow. He has a full, long beard and thick, wavy hair that appears to retreat at the temples. He wears a simple garment wrapped around his neck, and no jewelry is visible. The background is plain and textured. The style of the drawing emphasizes line and shading.
