The image shows a caricature of a man in profile, standing with his hands in his pockets, looking towards a display window. His facial features are exaggerated, with a pronounced nose and a serious expression. He has curly hair peeking out from under a tall top hat. The man is wearing a dark jacket, patterned checkered trousers, and a bow tie. The background shows a shop window displaying several pastries or cakes, with the word "PASTEL" visible on the glass. The drawing is in black and white, with intricate shading.
