The image shows a close-up profile view of a person's face. The individual is facing left, so the left side of their face is visible. Their facial features include a nose and lips. The person's hair is closely cropped or thinning. They have a few wrinkles on their forehead, and their expression is neutral. There are no visible items in their surroundings. The background is plain, and the image is signed in the bottom right corner with the artist's name and the year, "1922."
