The image shows a pencil or ink drawing of a man's head in profile, with detailed facial features. The man is facing right, with a bowed head, prominent nose, pronounced brow, deep-set eyes, wrinkles, unruly hair, and a beard. His expression is furrowed. The drawing suggests clothing with faint lines, and the background is plain.
