The image is an etching of a man with a beard and mustache. He is facing forward with his body slightly angled to the side. The man has a strong nose, intense, deeply set eyes, and curly, tousled hair sticking out from under a floppy hat. The man is wearing a coat or shawl. The background is plain with no visible objects. The artist's signature "John" is in the lower left corner, and there are sparse, swirling lines around the figure.
