Black and white sketch of a seated man. The man is wearing a hat, a collared shirt with suspenders, pants, and shoes. He sits on a bench or ledge with his right elbow on his right knee. His head is tilted down and to the left. The background includes a wall with lines suggesting a door or window frame and possibly a towel or clothing hanging. A small sketch of a pig's head is in the upper right corner.
