The image is a drawing depicting a person from the shoulders up, facing forward with a slight left angle. This individual is an older man with features like a prominent forehead, thinning hair, deep-set eyes, a long nose, a firm mouth, noticeable cheekbones, and a slightly angular chin. The hair is short and combed back. The man is dressed in what looks like a suit or formal attire with a high collar, and there is a cravat or scarf around his neck. The drawing is in a monochrome style with shading for contours, and the plain background shows the paper texture. No jewelry or objects are visible on the subject.
