The image is an illustration of the upper half of a man's body. He is shown in a relaxed, frontal position with a beard, mustache, and short hair. His eyes are looking forward. He is wearing a loose garment or cloak, and the sketch is set against a plain background with shading lines. The artist's signature and the date "1893" are visible beside the man's head.
