The image shows a full-body sketch of a man facing left. His head is turned to the left in profile. His facial features are angular with prominent cheekbones. His hair is thinning on top, longer at the sides and back. He wears a loose-fitting tunic with billowy sleeves, knee-length pants, possibly breeches, and boots. He wears shoes with buckles. He appears to be holding an object with his hands positioned near his torso. The background is a plain, light-colored surface providing contrast to the dark lines of the sketch.
