Sketch of a man in 18th-century attire standing and holding papers. The man has short hair and wears a long jacket, knee-length shorts, and shoes without socks. He faces left, with his body angled slightly towards the viewer. His left hand holds the papers, while his right hand is by his side. A faint grid is visible under the drawing, suggesting it was meant to be enlarged. The background includes diagonal lines and shading, indicating depth and shadow. The paper has a rough edge on the right and top sides.
