The image is a drawing of a man's head and neck in profile view. The man's profile includes a nose, closed mouth, slightly furrowed brow, eyes, and a jawline. His hair is closely cropped and outlined with bold, dark ink strokes. He is wearing a high-collared garment, suggested by a few dark lines below his chin. There are no visible jewelry or objects. The background is plain and unadorned, showing the texture of the paper with some creases and discoloration.
