The image displays a close-up portrait of a person's head and neck in profile, facing towards the right side of the frame. The individual has distinct features with a stern or thoughtful expression. Their hair is short, slightly unkempt and dark. The person is depicted in a monochrome sketch style and is wearing a dark garment visible around the neck area. The background consists of a textured surface. Texts are present at the top right and bottom of the image, with the one on top being a quote by Henry Bauer, and the one below noting "Historique du Théâtre de 'L'Œuvre' Saison 1895–96." No visible pieces of jewelry or objects are held by the person.
