The image shows an etching of a man from the waist up, in a seated position with slightly turned shoulders facing the viewer. The man has a round face with prominent features, such as deep-set eyes, a broad nose, and a serious expression. He has short, somewhat disheveled hair and is dressed in a suit jacket with a buttoned shirt underneath. His hands are resting in front of him and the background is abstract, with vertical lines suggesting curtains or drapery. There is an artist's signature at the bottom, along with the year 1917.
