The drawing shows a partial profile view of an elderly male figure, focusing on the face and upper shoulders. The man has his head slightly turned to the right, with a prominent nose, deep-set eyes, and subtle lines suggesting age. His thinning hair curves back from his forehead, and he has a long beard and mustache. He appears to be wearing a garment covering his shoulders, and the background is plain. The artwork features soft shading and line work, with a sketch-like quality.
