The drawing depicts a man from the chest up, facing the viewer. He has distinct facial features with a mustache and goatee, wearing a broad-brimmed hat that partially covers his short, curly hair. His clothing consists of a wide collar over a garment with vertical stripes or pleats. There is no visible jewelry or objects in his hands. The background is plain, emphasizing the man in the portrait.
