The image features a black and white drawing of a man's face shown from the shoulders up. The man has a serious expression with eyes facing forward, slightly frowning eyebrows, and closed lips. His hair is short with a slight wave at the front. He wears a collared garment. The background is textured, with handwritten inscriptions that read "Don Cribb," "Hollywood," and the dates "March 28-29, 1975," along with the artist's signature.
