The sketch features a man shown from the chest up, facing forward with a slightly tilted head. Softly-rendered facial features hint at a moustache and a calm expression. His short hair is subtly outlined. He appears to be wearing a collared shirt or coat with indistinct details. The background is textured with crosshatched shading, creating a focus on the face while the rest of the paper is bare, emphasizing the central figure.
