The image is a portrait of a man, shown from the chest up in profile facing right. He has a strong jawline, a neatly trimmed beard and mustache, full wavy hair combed back with highlights, and round eyeglasses on his nose. He is wearing a collared suit jacket. The portrait is sketched on paper, focusing on facial features. The background has no distinct detail. The artwork is signed and dated with the name 'MAX SLEVOGT' and '50 JAHRE ALT' inscribed, alongside partially visible text in the lower corners.
