The image depicts two sketches of a man playing the violin. In both sketches, the man is shown in a slightly bent posture, focusing on the violin. The man's facial features are rough but expressive, with prominent cheekbones and a subtle smile in one of the images. He wears a wide-brimmed hat and a loose-fitting jacket. The man holds a violin and bow, with the violin under his chin. The background is plain with the texture of the paper visible.
