The image shows a profile drawing of a man, focusing primarily on his upper body from the side. The man's head is turned to the right, and his posture suggests he is seated in a relaxed position. He has a prominent nose and an almost bald head, with very short hair visible around the sides. His facial features are distinctive and finely detailed. He is wearing a shirt or jacket, and the sketch focuses more on the lines and form than on intricate clothing details. The man is seated on a chair, as suggested by the line markings that outline its presence. The background is simple, consisting of hatching and sparse linework. The drawing is on a beige-toned paper with a slightly textured appearance, and the sheet appears to have a pinkish edge on the right side.
