Black and white portrait drawing of Charles Baudelaire, a middle-aged man with dark, curly hair and a mustache. He wears a dark jacket with buttons down the front and a high collar. His right elbow rests on an unseen surface, with his hand near his face. His left arm is bent at the elbow, with the hand resting on his lap. The drawing is on a light gray background with shading behind the subject's head and right shoulder. Text at the bottom reads "Imprimé par Auguste Bry, 134, rue du Bac." A monogram is also present in the lower left.
