The image shows an upper-body profile of a seated elderly man, drawn with fine lines. His head is turned towards the right, highlighting his facial features and a prominent nose. His hair is white and thinning, appearing neatly combed back. He is dressed in a formal suit jacket, shirt, and a bow tie. The background is plain, with no additional elements visible, allowing the focus to remain on the subject's expression. The artist's signature and the date "Aug. 19, 1920" are present on the lower left corner of the image, along with an indication that it was etched directly onto copper.
