The image shows a portrait of a person from the head to the shoulders. The individual faces forward with a slight tilt to the left. The face is detailed with notable cheekbones, a defined nose, and expressive eyes. The hair is depicted with curly or wavy strokes around the head. The clothing or drapery around the neck and shoulders is abstractly rendered with bold lines and textures. The background is plain. The bottom of the image features the title "Scipio Africanus" and the artist's signature "R. Pozzatti 1963," along with another signature. The composition is monochromatic, with black ink on light paper, emphasizing the dramatic quality of the portrait.
