Black and white sketch of a man standing next to an easel with a canvas. The man is wearing a long jacket and trousers. He has dark, curly hair and is looking over his left shoulder. His left arm rests on the canvas and his right arm is bent at the elbow, hand near his body. He wears shoes with a low heel. The easel is wooden and holds a large, blank canvas. Behind the easel is a draped object. The background is a wall with shading to the left. Text at the top reads "physiologies parisiennes". At the bottom, text reads "24 Commerce des Muses" and a smaller line of text underneath.
